Electricity prices for household end-users of Moldova may drop by approximately 1% – ANRE
This follows from new draft resolutions published by the National Energy Regulatory Agency (ANRE) regarding the approval of regulated prices for the supply of electricity to end-users. Specifically, it is stipulated that for Premier Energy, which serves consumers in central and southern Moldova, electricity prices for household consumers whose electrical installations are connected to low-voltage distribution networks (0.4 kV) will decrease by 0.8%—from 3.59 to 3.56 lei per 1 kWh, while for the same category of household consumers served by FEE Nord, which serves customers in the north of the country, they will decrease by 1.25%—from 4 to 3.95 lei per 1 kWh. It is noteworthy that these companies had previously requested a 7–8% tariff increase from ANRE. Specifically, Premier Energy asked ANRE to raise electricity prices for household consumers whose electrical installations are connected to low-voltage distribution networks (0.4 kV) by 6.7%—from 3.59 to 3.83 lei per kWh, while FEE Nord requested an 8% increase—from 4 to 4.32 lei per kWh. At the same time, Moldovan authorities stated that the final decision on tariff adjustments would be made by ANRE, but they themselves see no reason to raise electricity tariffs, as gas tariffs have been reduced and the cost of electricity production has decreased. In addition, the reduction in electricity transmission costs and positive tariff deviations by supplier companies must be taken into account. Electricity rates in Moldova were last adjusted on August 1, 2025, when the cost of electricity for household consumers of Premier Energy, whose electrical installations are connected to low-voltage distribution networks (0.4 kV), was reduced by 12.5%—from 4.1 to 3.59 lei per 1 kWh, and for FEE Nord—by 14.6%—from 4.68 to 4 lei per 1 kWh. // 23.03.2026 — InfoMarket.
