Separately, on July 4, Transgaz suspended its deliveries to the Mintia power and heating plant - disrupting the warm water delivery to Deva municipality, due to a RON 16 mln (EUR 3.3 mln) overdue debt, according to Profit.ro. The company will resume gas supply on July 6, conditioned on the payment of the overdue debt.
