4 FAQs about Distributed energy storage in Moldova
Does Moldova import electricity?
The Republic of Moldova's energy sector is heavily reliant on imports, with 80% of its electricity being imported in 2020. Prior to the war in Ukraine, the electricity was mainly imported from Ukraine. Since November 2023, the MGRES gas-fired power plant in Transnistria is making up for the electricity import deficit from Ukraine.
How can Moldova reach net-zero?
To reach net-zero, deep electrification across the sectors is needed resulting in greater share of electricity in the final energy mix. Today the domestic renewable energy potential remains relatively untapped but the committed renewable energy capacity in the Republic of Moldova by 2030 is expected to reach 700MW.
What is the demand for electricity in the Republic of Moldova?
The demand for electricity in the Republic of Moldova is expecting to grow at a steady rate of 2% annually, increasing in the both scenarios from about 3800 GWh today to 6900 GWh by 2050. In the reference scenario, natural gas will remain the major source of power generation through to 2050.
Why does Moldova rely on oil products for transportation?
