Salaries of Moldovan national energy regulator's board of directors to be cut by 20 per cent

The salaries of the members of the Board of Directors of the National Energy Regulatory Agency (ANRE) will be cut by 20 per cent. The decision was announced today by the institution and will be enforced starting from February 2026.

According to ANRE, the decision was taken by the Board of Directors following an internal analysis of its governance policy and the institution’s responsibility in relation to the current economic and social context.

“The decision is an institutionally assumed one and reflects the commitment of ANRE’s management to balance, prudence and social responsibility, without affecting the Agency’s legal operating framework or the principles of independence and budgetary autonomy that govern the activity of the regulatory authority,” ANRE stated.

The institution also emphasized that ANRE’s remuneration policy stayed based on criteria of competence, responsibility and institutional performance, in line with European best practices regarding the work of independent regulatory authorities.

The authorities have recently announced that the salaries of employees from more regulatory institutions, including ANRE, could be capped, in the context of opinions stating that their wages are excessive. A draft law to this effect was approved by the parliamentary commission for economy, budget and finance in last mid-December.
