Moldova will receive a $1.7 million grant from the World Bank Group to finance a feasibility study for a new cogeneration plant in Chisinau

As reported by the Parliament’s press service, the Foreign Policy Committee approved the start of negotiations with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), member of the World Bank Group, regarding this grant of approximately $1.7 million. The Ministry of Energy will use these funds to develop the technical documentation, feasibility studies, and environmental and social assessments required for the construction of a new cogeneration plant at the Termoelectrica facility. The plant’s capacity will be approximately 250 MW (electric) and 180 MW (thermal). The actual construction will be financed separately by the World Bank. Once completed, the plant will enable the simultaneous production of electricity and heat with lower fuel consumption, reducing the risk of supply disruptions and improving centralized heat and water supply for consumers in Chisinau. Following the signing, the agreement must be ratified by parliament, and the grant funds may be used until December 30, 2027. // 23.06.2026 — InfoMarket.
