As noted in the state-owned company's statement, thanks to the joint efforts of the Moldovan government, energy sector institutions, and regional transmission system operators, the electricity shortage initially forecast for today has been significantly reduced. Consequently, between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., Moldova's power system will face a shortfall of 39 MWh. For the remainder of the day, the volumes needed to meet consumption have been determined and reallocated. The authorities continue to make every effort to provide Moldova with the necessary energy. However, given the ongoing complex regional situation and limited availability of energy on external markets, electricity prices have risen significantly. The increase in purchase prices, especially during peak hours, will inevitably lead to higher rates for consumers. Moldovan citizens are urged to use electricity efficiently, especially between 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., to postpone the use of energy-intensive appliances, and to avoid wasting energy. "In this way, we will reduce the load on the grid and limit the need for additional purchases, which could be much more expensive," noted the state-owned company Energocom. // 06.08.2026 — InfoMarket.
