Renewable in % Electricity Production

According to the Moldovan Energy Strategy 2030, Moldova aims to increase the share of renewables in the country's final energy consumption to 17% in 2020 (27.8% reached in 2017), with a specific goal of 10% in transport. Electricity from renewables (mostly from wind and biogas) is expected to reach 17% of the total electricity consumption in 2020 (6% in 2018). The Strategy also planned 400 MW worth of additional wind and solar generation capacities through tenders.

CO₂ Fuel Combustion/CO₂ Emissions

In its NDC, Moldova plans to reduce its GHG emissions by 64-67% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels.

CO₂ emissions from energy combustion have remained quite stable since 2000, after an 80% decrease between 1990 and 2000 (8 MtCO₂ in 2018).
