The planned 400 kV Strășeni-Gutinaș overhead line linking Moldova and Romania will be called the Trump Liberty Line, the US embassy in Chișinău said. Reuters reported that the project is backed by a $130 million US government investment. [1]
Moldova's government says the approximately 190-kilometre project would connect the Strășeni and Gutinaș substations, becoming the third 400 kV interconnector between the two countries and increasing import and export capacity with the European grid. [2]
ContextThe line remains a planned infrastructure project rather than an operating connection. Moldovan officials present it as part of a broader effort to diversify electricity routes after Russian attacks repeatedly disrupted supplies through Ukraine. [2] [1]
