Government commitment to energy transition ensures legal stability for renewables.
Feed-in Tariffs
Scheme for power plants with a capacity not exceeding the capacity limit set by the Government, but not less than 10 kW
EU Market Access
The maximum electricity export capacity from Ukraine and Moldova to EU countries has been increased to 900 MW.
Bankable PPAs
15-year state-backed Power Purchase Agreements ensure predictable returns.
165 MW
Moldova launches 165 MW in solar and wind auctions – early investors gain access to guaranteed, state-backed energy projects.
Moldova's Energy Demand & Dependency
The dependence of Moldova on the energy imports:
Roughly 80 % on electricity.
100 % on fuels for transport.
100 % on natural gas.

Promotion of
Renewable Energy
By the end of 2025, the Ministry of Energy plans to launch a new round of auctions in the period 2025-2026. This round will include a battery energy storage system (BESS) component to increase grid stability and reduce imbalances.

RES
integration and flexibility
As renewable energy capacity increases, the need to develop balancing capacities of the system — including balancing units and BESS — becomes essential, while harnessing biogas can provide both short - and long-term flexibility to contribute to balancing the power system.
Moldova requires 246 MW of balancing capacity but can currently cover only 80 MW with existing infrastructure. To close the gap and support renewable energy integration, Moldelectrica will launch tenders for balancing services, including 72 MW aFRR and 174 MW mFRR. Expanding balancing units, BESS, and using biogas will be key to ensuring system flexibility.

Sandbox Law
What is a regulatory sandbox?
• A regulatory framework that allows you to build (almost) anything you want.
• A space that encourages creativity and exploration, allowing yourself to fail in some attempts.
• A safe environment for testing new ideas, but well-defined and bounded.
• An opportunity to take advantage of specific regulatory exemptions for up to 7 years, though not all restrictions are lifted.
Benefits of a sandbox
• Encourages innovation
• Regulatory flexibility
• Risk mitigation
• Consumer protection
• Accelerated energy transition
• Promotes sustainability
