What is the main source of energy in the Republic of Moldova?
In the reference scenario, natural gas, primarily imported from the Russian Federation, remains the main component of the Republic of Moldova’s generation mix accounting for over 30% and followed by oil.
Will the Republic of Moldova rely on fossil fuels?
In this case, the Republic of Moldova will remain dependent on the import of fossil fuels, despite its vast renewable energy potential. In such case the vulnerabilities of the energy system of the Republic of Moldova are expected to continue over the long run.
Why is Moldova a low energy country?
The Republic of Moldova’s low energy self-sufficiency, covering only about 21% of its energy needs domestically, makes it heavily reliant on imports, particularly from the Russian Federation for natural gas and Romania for oil products.
How much electricity does Moldova consume?
The total electricity consumption in Moldova was 3.8 TWh in , which was up 10% from its level in , with the majority of consumption from the residential sector (45%). Residential consumption grew by 14% between and , which is considerably less than the global average growth for the same period, which was over 20%.
How important is Moldova's cross-border power system?
Geographically positioned between Romania and Ukraine, the cross-border power system of the Republic of Moldova is critical for regional energy security and regional integration with the European and Moldova-Ukraine energy markets.
Does Moldova have a power grid?
Moldova’s electricity grid was predominantly built in the time of the Soviet Union, making it relatively old and inefficient. It is synchronously interconnected with Ukraine’s Integrated Power System (IPS) and, in turn, Russia’s Unified Power System (UPS) in the northern and south-eastern parts of the grid.
