Maia Sandu asks the Government for mandatory actions for all public institutions to reduce electricity consumption

The President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu asked the Government, after the meeting of the Supreme Security Council (CSS), to come up with a set of actions, mandatory for all public institutions, for continuous monitoring and reduction of electricity consumption. In the same way, the Government will estimate the impact of the increase in electricity prices on the population and the business environment, and will propose measures to reduce it.

In particular, it is about the impact on the vulnerable people, but also on the enterprises, whose competitiveness is affected by the increase in the prices of production factors.

The Government and the National Energy Regulatory Agency will boost communication with citizens and the business environment regarding the necessity and methods of reducing energy consumption. Also, the National Energy Regulatory Agency will revise the regulations regarding private investments in alternative sources of electricity.

"The Republic of Moldova is currently facing the worst energy crisis in its history and the way we will get through the coming winter depends on all of us", said President Maia Sandu at the beginning of the meeting of the Supreme Security Council (CSS) , convened on Monday evening to discuss current threats to energy security.

We remind that, on Monday, October 24, CSS members analyzed the situation created in the energy sector of the country where, from October 24, 2022, a deficit of electricity is registered. This comes after the cessation of the sale of electricity by Ukraine, following the significant destruction of the electricity system of this country by Russia.

The representatives of the institutions responsible for the energy field, as well as those for security, provided information about the situation on the energy market and described various scenarios of the evolution of things, including the risk that "Gazprom" will further reduce or permanently stop the delivery of natural gas to the Republic of Moldova. In the same way, the alternatives for providing electricity to the population and the economy were analyzed, as well as the measures required to reduce the impact of the energy crisis. The deficit of electricity can be compensated by purchases on other markets, but at higher prices.
