Energy Sector Overview
RM highly dependent on energy imports
 94% of the energy needs (fossil fuels and
electricity) are covered from imports

In absence of national fossils,
promotion of EE and RE is key
Energy Sector Challenges


Lack of own resources (natural gas, oil, coal);
High energy intensity and poor energy efficiency;
Low level of RE use (6%);
Dominance of imported natural gas;
Old equipment (about 60-70%) in the energy
transformation sector;
Insufficient investments in the energy sector, etc.

Accession to the Energy Community Treaty – a key objective of the
Republic of Moldova’s 2020 Energy Strategy:
December 23, 2009 – RM adopted the Law on no 117-XVII on RM
Accession to the Energy Community Treaty

March 17, 2010, Vienna – singed the Protocol on Accession to the Energy
Community

May 1, 2010 – Moldova is a member of Energy Community Treaty
Legal Framework/RE
Law on Renewables, No. 160 of 12.07.2007
RE support mechanism;
Energy Efficiency Fund;
Feed-in tariff for 15 years;
Distributors’ obligation to accept green energy into the national grid.
Biodiesel target – 5% by year 2010 (2013 new amendment), 20% by 2020
Bioethanol target – 6% by year 2010 (2013 new amendment), 20% by 2020
National Agency for Energy Regulator:
Methodology to determine, approve and apply tariffs for electricity produced
from renewable energy and biofuel.
Regulation on Guarantee of Origin for Green Energy
Legal Framework/R&D
Law on Technology Parks and Innovation Incubators, No.
138XVI of 21.06.2007

Legal Framework/Heat Tariffs
December 17, 2009 - RM Parliament approved the
Law on Amending and Supplementing Some Laws no.
107-XVIII, which:
 conveyed the responsibility for heat tariff setting
from the local public authority to the national energy
regulator;
 Transferred the responsibility for the national energy
regulator’s budget approval and Administrative
Board assignment from the government to the
parliament.
These changes allowed setting the heat tariff at
the cost-recovery level.
Legal Framework/EE
Government of Moldova approved the draft Law on Energy Efficiency (in
the Parliament):







creates the framework for application of EU Directive 2006/32/CE of April 5,
2006on energy end-use efficiency and energy services;
AEE - institutional capacity in charge of EE and RES promotion and
monitoring;
energy audit;
energy managers for regions, municipalities and Gagauz Territorial
Administrative Unit;
ESCOs, third party financing, performance contracting, energy consumption
metering;
minimum energy performance standards, etc.
the Law also provides for periodical national and local EE Programs and
Action Plans to be developed and approved aimed at reaching the
intermediary 9% and long-term 20% energy saving targets by 2016 and
correspondingly, 2020.
