Electricity tariffs in Moldova may increase due to rising prices on the regional market – the Ministry of Energy

Electricity tariffs in Moldova may increase due to rising prices on the regional market – the Ministry of Energy

This was stated by Energy Minister Dorin Junghietu on TV8's “New Week” program. He warned of a possible increase in electricity prices in the region, which could also affect tariffs in Moldova. The head of the Ministry of Energy explained that electricity prices in the region began to rise amid Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which have caused the neighboring country to experience an electricity shortage and forced it to purchase additional volumes on the regional market. Dorin Junghietu pointed out that on October 10 alone, Ukraine lost 2.8 gigawatts of electricity production, and on October 24 and 25, there were other attacks on two thermal power plants in central Ukraine. Due to the shortage of electricity, Ukraine is forced to buy it from neighboring countries, including Romania. As a result, there are preconditions for an increase in the cost of electricity in the regional market. The head of the Ministry of Energy noted that the price of electricity in Romania is liberalized. Given the electricity shortage in Ukraine, electricity prices in the regional market are rising. Dorin Junghietu explained that Moldova currently receives electricity from several sources, including Romania and Ukraine. According to him, approximately 25% is produced by two thermal power plants in Chisinau and Balti - Termoelectrica and CET-Nord. Approximately 10-15% of the required energy is produced from renewable sources in Moldova. “We purchase about 25-30% of electricity from companies in Romania or Ukraine, which also produce electricity from renewable sources, including hydroelectric power plants. The remaining 30-40% is purchased on the free market, mainly in Romania,” the head of the Ministry of Energy emphasized. Earlier it was reported that in Moldova, from August 1, 2025, electricity tariffs for Premier Energy and FEE Nord consumers have decreased. Thus, the cost of electricity for Premier Energy household consumers whose electrical installations are connected to low-voltage distribution networks (0.4 kW) was reduced by 12.5% - from 4.1 to 3.59 lei per 1 kW/h, while for FEE Nord consumers, the cost was reduced by 14.6%, from 4.68 to 4 lei per 1 kWh. // 18.11.2025 — InfoMarket.
