COMMITMENTS UNDER TCE
• In march 2010 Moldova signed the Energy
Community Accession Protocol:
- Under the treaty Moldova had to transpose the
so-called “second energy package”.
• According to the Ministerial Council Decision
from 6 October 2011, by 1-st January 2015, the
Energy Community Contracting parties should
transpose the so-called “third energy package”:
- Directive No. 2009/72/EC;
- Directive No. 2009/73/EC;
COMMITMENTS UNDER TCE
- Regulation No. 714/2009;
- Regulation No. 715/2009.
• The scope of the “second energy package” and
of the “third energy package” - ensure
liberalization of energy markets.
TCE Contracting parties
MAIN CHALLENGES
• Given specifics of the natural gas and power
markets in Moldova, the main challenges regarding
liberalization of energy markets are:
- To ensure effective unbundling of TSO from producers
and suppliers in the natural gas sector;
- To establish procedure for switching suppliers by
customers, in maximum 3 weeks (in both electricity
and natural gas sectors);
MAIN CHALLENGES
- To encourage the entrance of new suppliers on the
energy markets:
- introduction of obligation for non-household customers to
buy electricity from the market (could be an option?);
- To establish a day-ahead market:
- At the level of Energy Community a SEE WMO Report was
developed. One of the conclusions was that until Moldova
joins ENTSO-E (in about 8 years according to the Report) ,
the possibility to create a common market with Ukraine
should be considered.
- To establish a balancing market, an ancillary services
market.
