| Summary: | The principal strategic challenges that
the electricity sector in Moldova faces are to increase the
security of electricity supply by diversifying sources, and
to provide affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy
services. To some extent this could be achieved by
increasing and/or rehabilitating local generation capacity
where economically justified. In addition, establishing an
effective interconnection with the European Network of
Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E)
would enable the import of competitively priced power from
the Energy Community (EnC) and would help overcome Moldova’s
electricity sector challenges. Although Moldova joined the
EnC in 2010 after having implemented major and successful
sector reforms, its electric power system is physically
still part of the former Soviet Union’s Integrated Power
System/United Power System (IPS/UPS) and is effectively not
interconnected with the EU/EnC’s Internal Energy Market
(IEM). This sector Study provides guidance to the government
on significantly improving Moldova’s security of energy
supply via interconnection with ENTSO-E and therefore with
the EU/EnC’s internal energy market. The study consists of
two main parts: (i) electric power system planning; and (ii)
power market design, plus associated annexes. |
