Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
Moldova is a landlocked country bordered by Romania to the west and by Ukraine to the East. It was part of the Soviet Union and became an independent country in 1991. Transnistria is a separatist province that seceded from Moldova in 1992. It is not recognized by the UN and is officially considered as part of Moldova.
Energy Supply
Resources:
Moldova has limited fossil resources. Consequently, the country covers all its energy needs with imports (energy independence rate of 20%).
Energy Prices
Gas:
In 2012, regulated tariffs were set higher for households than for industry. Between 2012 and 2016, the prices decreased by 5.6%/year for industry and 7.7%/year for the households and increased again subsequently to 3.1 US$c/kWh and 3.21 US$c/kWh, respectively, in 2018.
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita is approximately 1.1 toe/year (three times lower than the European average), including about 1 500 kWh of electricity (2018).

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
The Moldovan Energy Strategy 2030 foresees an average annual electricity consumption growth rate of 4.2%/year over 2020-2030. It also targets a power capacity increase of 800 MW, including 400 MW from renewables. The scenario released by the Institute of Power Engineering of the Academy of Science of Moldova (ASM) shows lower projections, with a power consumption growth of 2.1%/year by 2030.
