Moldova will receive a EUR 143.5 million loan from the EIB for the optimization and modernization of the Chisinau district heating system as part of a major project with a total budget of EUR 326.5 million.

Moldova will receive a EUR 143.5 million loan from the EIB for the optimization and modernization of the Chisinau district heating system as part of a major project with a total budget of EUR 326.5 million.

As reported by the Ministry of Energy, in particular, the Moldovan government approved the start of negotiations with the European Investment Bank (EIB) on a loan for the modernization of the district heating system in Chisinau and approved a negotiating team headed by Energy Minister Dorin Junghietu. The aforementioned EIB loan will complement the financing of other external partners of Moldova for a major project with a total budget of EUR 326.5 million. Thus, the EIB's contribution to the project "Optimization of the District Heating System of Chisinau Municipality" will amount to approximately EUR 143.5 million (44% of its total cost). For the implementation of the aforementioned project, the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development will provide Moldova with loans of EUR 143.5 million each. The Eastern Europe Energy Efficiency and Environment Partnership (E5P) will provide a grant of €15 million for this purpose, and the EU Neighbourhood Investment Platform (EU NIP) will provide a grant of €24.5 million. Within the framework of the project, financed by the EIB in the amount of €143.5 million, more than 2,500 individual heating substations will be installed, 1,665 residential buildings will be converted to a horizontal heat carrier distribution system, 57 buildings will be thermally insulated and their primary heat networks will be rehabilitated. At the same time, two modern heat pump stations will be built. According to estimates, these actions will result in savings of approximately 4,600 MWh of primary energy over 20 years, a reduction in CO₂ emissions of approximately 816 thousand tonnes, as well as a significant increase in energy efficiency and reliability of services provided to end consumers. The central element of the project is the introduction of individual heat metering systems. This component will provide consumers with the possibility to directly monitor and manage their own consumption, depending on the specific needs of each home. The measure will contribute to improving thermal comfort, reducing individual costs and stimulating responsible behavior in the use of energy resources. It is expected that over 300 thousand homes in Chisinau will directly benefit from this modernization. Termoelectrica CEO Iurie Razlovan stated earlier that the mentioned project for optimization of the Chisinau thermal energy system is an important step in the modernization of the capital's thermal infrastructure and its alignment with European standards. "We are pleased with the support of international partners and the commitment of the Government and the Ministry of Energy of Moldova to the implementation of this important initiative for our city. Termoelectrica, together with the participating partners, is committed to the successful implementation of this project, bringing tangible benefits to all consumers in Chisinau," he emphasized. // 18.06.2025 — InfoMarket.
