Moldova's government approved an Energy Strategy for 2026–2050 on 30 September after an environmental assessment and consultations that included Romania and Ukraine. The plan is intended to reduce import dependence, expand domestic generation and storage, and strengthen resilience to geopolitical, climate and cyber risks. [1]
The strategy sets 2050 targets to lower imported energy's share from more than 77% to 40%, produce at least 85% of electricity domestically from renewable sources and raise electricity's share of final consumption from 12% to 65%. It also aims to reduce energy intensity from 0.298 to 0.061 tonnes of oil equivalent per €1,000. [1]
ContextThe document also calls for further interconnection with the European Union and eventual full integration into its electricity market. These figures are long-term government targets, not completed infrastructure or current generation shares. [1]
