The Ministry of Energy has announced that all companies in the power sector are prepared to respond to any malfunctions, in the context of weather warnings for snow, strong winds and ice formation forecast for the coming days in the Republic of Moldova.

The Ministry of Energy notes that operators in the field have a sufficient number of teams to ensure the rapid repair of potential failures and the restoration of electricity distribution and supply services.

At the same time, the authorities recommend that the population observe safety measures, including avoiding approaching power lines that have fallen to the ground and immediately notifying distribution operators or emergency services, disconnecting sensitive household appliances in the event of power outages, and using alternative heating sources only under safe conditions.

Citizens are urged to keep backup lighting sources at hand and to obtain information from official sources. For reporting incidents, the Ministry of Energy provides the following contacts: 022 43 11 11 for Premier Energy Distribution and +373 231 24 201 for RED Nord.
