The Republic of Moldova is actively working on creating a competitive and sustainable energy sector integrated into European markets. The main goal is to enhance energy security and reduce dependence on imported energy resources.
Moldova’s Goals for 2030:
As part of the Energy Community Agreement, the country has set ambitious targets:
- Limiting primary energy consumption to 3 million tons of oil equivalent.
- Reducing final energy consumption to 2.8 million tons of oil equivalent.
- Ensuring a minimum 27% share of renewable energy in the energy balance.
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 9.1 million tons of CO₂ compared to 1990 levels.
Energy Transition Strategy:
To achieve these goals, Moldova has developed a long-term energy strategy that includes:
- Increasing the share of renewable energy sources to 40% of the energy mix.
- Improving energy efficiency in households and industry.
- Developing infrastructure for electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
- Enhancing international integration by expanding connections to neighboring energy grids.
Moldova receives financial and technical support from the European Union and other international organizations to implement necessary reforms. Additionally, associations and organizations are being established to support the transition to sustainable energy.
The energy transition is a complex process that requires active involvement from the government, private sector, and international partners. However, achieving these plans will not only strengthen Moldova's energy security but also contribute to the global fight against climat e change.
