Moldovan authorities will secure electricity from various sources to maintain supply continuity if disruptions occur from the left bank of the Dniester. Authorities will implement emergency measures starting January 1, 2025, if needed.
The government highlights the need to reduce electricity consumption by 60 MW during peak hours, specifically between 7:00–11:00 and 18:00–23:00.
Regarding domestic production, government spokesman Daniel Voda states that Termoelectrica and CET Nord will cover a base consumption of approximately 200 MW, with reserves available to increase production capacity. The Costesti-Stanca hydropower plant can contribute up to 10 MW continuously.

Moldova has already secured the purchase of 100 MW from Romania’s Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant at a capped price. An additional 100 MW will come from the Brazi power plant (OMV Petrom), with up to 200 MW from the Romanian OPCOM exchange for peak consumption.
Renewable energy sources will provide variable production between 50 MW and 150 MW, depending on weather conditions. Installed renewable capacity is projected to exceed 600 MW by January 2025.
“The guaranteed NTC (Net Transfer Capacity) for imports is 315 MW. Using 110 kV lines with Romania adds over 100 MW,” notes Voda.
These measures aim to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply. However, authorities encourage citizens and businesses to conserve electricity, particularly during critical periods.
