Over one thousand more families in Moldova to receive vouchers for energy-efficient home appliances

About 1,160 families in the Republic of Moldova will receive vouchers to purchase energy-efficient household appliances under a new round of the EcoVoucher Program, financed by the European Union. The session will take place on 22 May - 7 June 2026.

According to the National Center for Sustainable Energy (CNED), the program provides direct support to households to reduce energy consumption and modernize home appliances. Beneficiaries will receive vouchers worth 6,000 lei to buy refrigerators and washing machines that meet energy efficiency standards and European Conformity (CE) requirements.

Beneficiaries of this session are families with minor children, elderly people over the age of 63, and persons with severe disabilities. To access the program, they must be registered in the Energy Vulnerability Information System. Eligible persons will be informed by SMS or email and will be able to access the vouchers on the platform compensatii.gov.md.

The vouchers can be used during the active session and will cover up to 70% of the cost of the appliances, without exceeding the value of the voucher. To use the voucher, beneficiaries will have to hand in an old appliance of the same type. According to the authorities, since the launch of the program, 41,645 families in the Republic of Moldova have received vouchers to purchase large household appliances. Beneficiaries have reported savings on energy bills and improved comfort in their homes.

In the 2026 edition, the EcoVoucher Program is financed by the European Union with an estimated budget of one million euros, through the project "Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy in the Republic of Moldova" (E4M), implemented by GIZ. The program was developed by the Government of the Republic of Moldova with the support of the European Union and is implemented by the National Center for Sustainable Energy within the E4M project. The project is funded by the Government of Germany and co-financed by the European Union, Norway, and Denmark.
