Moldova's largest electricity storage system, with a total capacity of 60 MWh and integrated with a 50 MW photovoltaic plant, was launched on April 20 in Redeni
According to the Ministry of Energy, this investment is an indispensable element of the country's new energy architecture, directly contributing to balancing the electricity system and optimizing the consumption curve. By storing energy generated during periods of excess production and releasing it during peak hours, the system maintains grid stability and increases the efficiency of renewable energy sources. Energy Minister Dorin Junghietu emphasized the direct benefits for consumers, noting that such investments contribute to more competitive prices in the electricity market. "Cooperation between private investors, state-owned enterprises, and the government is essential for the transformation of the energy sector. This storage system is a clear example of the consistency and commitment to cooperation among a group of investors. I congratulate the investors on the rapid implementation of this project – it is an example for the entire local renewable energy market," the Minister of Energy said. "The estimated price for energy sales is the OPCOM price the following day. During daytime periods with high generation and low or even negative prices, we store the generated energy and sell it in the evening, when demand and prices are higher," said investor Vitali Zveaghintev.// 30.04.2026 — InfoMarket
