Energy system of the Republic of Moldova operated stably over past week, with no major incidents - Energy Ministry says

The Republic of Moldova’s electricity demand was fully covered during the period from November 2–8, 2026, without the need to activate emergency assistance. Natural gas deliveries proceeded without interruption, while fuel stocks remained stable. No major incidents were reported in the electricity and natural gas transmission networks either, according to data presented today by the Ministry of Energy.

According to the ministry, between November 2–8, 2026, electricity consumption on the right bank of the Dniester amounted to 102,671 MWh, an increase of 6.2% compared with the same period last year, when 96,675 MWh were consumed. Electricity demand was fully covered on both banks of the Dniester, without the need to activate emergency assistance.

On the right bank, electricity was supplied by the Termoelectrica and CET-Nord power plants, the Costești hydropower plant, and renewable energy sources. Domestic production was supplemented by imports from Romania, based on bilateral contracts and transactions on energy exchanges, as well as from Ukraine, based on bilateral contracts.

The authorities stated that the electricity transmission network operated without unplanned failures affecting system security. No incidents disrupting the operation of the electricity system were reported in the Transnistrian region either.

At the same time, natural gas transportation proceeded without failures on the main pipelines, and all 81 gas delivery stations operated without incidents. Between November 2–8, 2026, 21.67 million m³ of natural gas were consumed on the right bank of the Dniester, down by 1.41 million m³ (6.1%) compared with the same period last year, when consumption totaled 23.08 million m³.

Additionally, over the past week, the Republic of Moldova imported approximately 13,600 tonnes of fuel, including more than 3,000 tons of gasoline from Bulgaria and over 10,600 tonnes of diesel from Romania, Bulgaria, Oman, India, and Saudi Arabia. Fuel stocks at oil storage facilities, the Giurgiulești International Free Port, and filling stations remained stable, without significant fluctuations, the Ministry of Energy reported.

In the field of thermal energy, Termoelectrica and CET-Nord reported no incidents or failures at their cogeneration facilities, which simultaneously produce electricity and heat. The plants operated normally throughout the week.

The Republic of Moldova is under a state of emergency in the energy sector.
