Moldova’s Ministry of Energy has unveiled plans to launch tenders for 165 MW of large-scale renewable energy projects in April 2024. The majority of the offered capacity will be reserved for wind projects (105 MW), while the remaining capacity (60 MW) will be reserved for solar PV projects.
According to the Ministry’s schedule, the auction will be launched on 9 April 2024 and offers will be accepted for over three months until July 2024. Selected bidders will sign fixed-price contracts with a term of 15 years. Moldova currently support renewable projects through net invoicing (for small producers with installations for self-consumption, as of 1 January 2024) and 15-year fixed feed-in tariffs for solar PV and wind projects, with large ones (solar PV parks above 1 MW and wind parks above 4 MW) awarded through auctions.
Renewables represented 27% of Moldova’s installed capacity in 2022 (101 MW of wind, 16 MW of hydropower, 19 MW of solar, and 12 MW of biomass). Gas dominated with over 400 MW of capacity in 2022.
