Moldova maintains power supply amid Gazprom gas halt

S.A. “Energocom” ensured the energy stability of the Republic of Moldova in December 2025 by purchasing a sufficient volume of electricity to cover the country’s consumption needs.

According to the company, in December 2025, a total of 458.15 thousand MWh of electricity was procured from both domestic sources and imports. The weighted average purchase price was €132.57/MWh, CE Report quotes MOLDPRES.

The procurement structure shows that 65.46% of electricity was imported, while 34.54% came from domestic producers, helping diversify sources and maintain energy security.

“Of the total purchased volume, 35.84% was contracted through bilateral agreements with suppliers and producers from Romania, while 29.62% was procured via the BRM and OPCOM trading platforms, mechanisms that ensure transparency and competitive access to the regional energy market,” Energocom representatives said. They also noted that purchase prices do not include taxes and costs related to transport, logistics, or capacity reservation, which are calculated separately according to current regulations.

Through these acquisitions, S.A. “Energocom” reaffirms its essential role in guaranteeing the continuous supply of electricity and maintaining the balance of Moldova’s energy system during a period marked by volatility in regional energy markets.

As reported by CE Report, since January 1, 2025, the right bank of the Dniester has not received electricity from the Cuciurgan Power Plant, after the Russian company Gazprom halted natural gas deliveries to Moldova. In this situation, consumption is covered by domestic sources and imports.
