The authorities will provide over 70 electric generators and 350 tablets to educational institutions in the Security Zone and the Transnistrian region, both affected by the energy crisis. The Commission for Emergency Situations (CSE) made this decision.
The General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU) will utilize the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism to request international assistance. Educational and social institutions in areas at risk of disconnection from electricity and gas supplies will receive 72 electric generators.
The Ministry of Education and Research (MEC) will distribute 350 tablets to nine educational institutions to ensure the continuity of education. These devices will also reach Latin-script schools in the Transnistrian region and the Security Zone.
To support enterprises and communities in agriculture, forestry, fishery, and the processing industry, the government has introduced a mechanism to partially compensate for increased electricity costs. This measure aims to reduce the financial burden on institutions and residents caused by rising regulated energy prices.
