Lower Energy Costs and Stability in Moldova Thanks to EU Support

Politics 5 February 2025 20:30

Moldovan President Maia Sandu announced that residents on the left bank of the Dniester no longer face freezing conditions, while those on the right bank will see lower electricity bills starting in February. This is due to Moldova's efforts and financial assistance from the European Union, CE Report quotes MOLDPRES

Gas deliveries to the left bank were secured through a €20 million EU donation. Sandu noted that an additional €60 million could be allocated, but Tiraspol must meet conditions on human rights and freedom of movement.

On the right bank, citizens will continue paying the old rate for the first 110 kWh of electricity. The government will also allocate €15 million to support businesses, €20 million for public institutions' energy costs, and €50 million for energy efficiency projects.

European Commissioner Marta Kos confirmed on February 4 in Chișinău that the EU's new support package will strengthen Moldova’s energy system, making it more resilient, independent, and better connected to Europe.
