The Republic of Moldova has completed a series of tests to verify the ability of certain regions to receive electricity directly from Romania in isolated mode, disconnected from the national grid. The state enterprise Moldelectrica conducted the tests to evaluate the country’s capacity to ensure continuity of electricity supply in exceptional situations, according to IPN.
The tests were carried out through three 110 kV overhead power lines connecting Moldovan localities to Romania:
- Ungheni – Tutora
- Cioara – Husi
- Gotesti – Falciu

These interconnections allow, if necessary, the direct supply of electricity from the Romanian National Electric Energy System to residents in these areas.
The simulations tested whether these networks could function independently of the rest of Moldova’s energy system. Technical teams monitored frequency and voltage stability, ensuring smooth coordination between the dispatch centers of both Moldova and Romania.
“This was a complex exercise that tested not only the infrastructure but also our operational capacity to respond effectively in exceptional scenarios,” said Dumitru Rujanschi, Chief Dispatcher at Moldelectrica.
According to Moldelectrica, the initiative is part of a broader national plan to enhance energy resilience and reduce dependence on single sources of supply.
