Highlights
- Moldova is progressively adopting the EU "acquis".
- In 2022, Moldova implemented several actions to reduce its energy dependence on Russia.
- Inter RAO UES is the largest power producer: its production is located in the secessionist province of Transnistria.
- Moldovagaz dominates the gas market and its debt to Gazprom represents around 80% of the GDP.
- The country is highly dependent on imported energy.
- Over 90% of the electricity is produced from natural gas.
- Regulated electricity and gas prices are subsidised.
- Retail prices are dependent on the exchange rate as most of the energy consumed is imported.
- Natural gas accounts for 56% of the energy mix.
- The country is developing several power interconnection projects with Romania.

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
Gas:
All the gas is imported from Russia (2020).
Gas imports have been rising since 2013, with a dip in 2017 (2.7 bcm) to 3.2 bcm in 2021. They had been rising since 2000 and reached a peak at 3.2 bcm in 2010, before stabilising and falling by 22% in 2013.
Energy Prices
Oil:
In 2016, amendments to the Law on the oil market introduced a new methodology for ANRE to set twice-monthly ceilings for retail prices of oil products, based on international quotations. In 2021, prices are lower than in Romania (by around 50% for diesel and 35% for gasoline) and Ukraine (by around 20% for diesel and 3% for gasoline).
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita is approximately 1.5 toe/year (approximately half the European average), including about 2 000 kWh of electricity (2020).
