FAQS about Moldova Solar Power Generation and Energy Storage Recommendations

What is Moldova's energy consumption?

Transport sector is the second-largest energy consumer (around 0.7 Mtoe) and the main driver in oil consumption growth. Renewables represent 20% of Moldova’s energy mix, consisting almost fully of solid biofuels (19% in 2018). 6% of electricity generation comes from renewable sources (hydro, wind, solar PV).

What is Moldova's energy policy?

Moldova’s energy policy focuses on improving integration in regional markets, strengthening energy security, improving compliance with EU directives, increasing electricity generation capacity and promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Does Moldova have energy security?

Despite acceptable energy security levels in Moldova in 2019, the country faces exposure to gas supply shock risks due to its reliance on Russia for all of its gas via Ukraine. Two major supply disruptions occurred in 2006 and 2009 due to disputes between the two countries.

How important is Moldova's cross-border power system?

Geographically positioned between Romania and Ukraine, the cross-border power system of the Republic of Moldova is critical for regional energy security and regional integration with the European and Moldova-Ukraine energy markets.

How does Moldova share energy data?

Moldova shares energy data through five annual International Energy Agency (IEA)/Eurostat/UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) joint questionnaires.

What is the main energy source in Moldova?

Natural gas accounts for more than half of Moldova’s total primary energy supply (53% in 2018), oil roughly a quarter (23% in 2018) and solid biomass one-fifth (19% in 2018). Most natural gas is used for electricity and heat generation, 3 whereas oil is the most important energy source for final consumers.
