Specifically, as of August 3, Energocom had purchased a total of 12,134 MWh of electricity to meet demand, compared to 9,523 MWh on August 1 and 9,794 MWh on July 30. As noted in a statement by the state-owned company Energocom, of the total volume of electricity purchased as of August 3 (12,134 MWh) needed to meet consumption in Moldova, 28.03% will be supplied by local renewable sources, 52.93% was purchased under bilateral import contracts, 17.93% was purchased on Romania's "day-ahead" market through OPCOM and BRM, and 1.1% was purchased from combined heat and power plants. Energocom notes that high temperatures are also forecast for the coming days, which could lead to an increase in electricity consumption, particularly due to the heavy use of air conditioners. At the same time, regional markets remain unstable, and electricity availability depends on the situation in the region. Therefore, Energocom urges citizens to use electricity responsibly and, whenever possible, reduce the use of energy-intensive appliances between 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Washing machines, dryers, electric water heaters, and other household appliances can be used during the day when demand is lower. "In this way, we can help reduce the load on the national power grid and lower procurement costs," the state-owned company emphasizes. // 03.08.2026 — InfoMarket.
