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
Gas:
All the gas is imported from Russia.
Gas imports have been rising since 2013, with a dip in 2017 (2.7 bcm) to 3 bcm in 2019. 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
Electricity:
Regulated tariffs vary between the distribution companies and depend on the voltage level. ANRE approved a 30%-45% price increase (depending on the distribution company) in 2015. The price was reduced by around 10% in 2016 because of the 28% drop in the purchasing price from Moldovan Hydropower Plant and thanks to a favourable MDL/USD exchange rate.
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita is approximately 1.5 toe/year (half the European average), including about 1 500 kWh of electricity (2018).

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.
