They have hardly any fossil depots and are currently dependent on Russian gas, with 97% of their energy needs imported. The new elected government wants to move towards the EU and this is generally seen as the way to grow and reduce poverty.

  • Mitigation Report
    Republic of Moldova TECHNOLOGY NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION REPORT I TECHNOLOGY PRIORITISATION May, 2012 Supported by Republic of Moldova PREFACE The Republic of Moldova has signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on June 12, 1992, ratified it on March 16, 1995 and for our country the Convention entered into force on September 7, 1995. On January 28, 2011 the Republic of Moldova has associated with the Copenhagen Agreement of the United Nations Framework on Climate Change. Under this Agreement, our country has set a new target aimed at Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction, specifying " reduction of total national levels of GHG emissions by not less than 25% by 2020 compared to the reference year (1990). Hereby, it is determined that this target shall be achieved by implementing global economic mechanisms focused on mitigating climate change in accordance with UNFCCC principles and decisions.” The recent and underway policies of the Republic of Moldova on climate change mitigation are aimed at promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in all sectors of the national economy, systematic afforestation activities and rational land management, promoting innovative approaches and environmentally friendly technologies and exploring carbon financing mechanisms. In conformity with the general objective of the Convention, which sets as a target the maximum global average temperature growth until 2100 by no more than 20C, the Republic of Moldova has decided to undertake a transition to a low GHG emissions development path. The first step in this direction was made in 2011 when development of the Low-Emission Development Strategy and Climate Change Adaptation Strategy started.

  • Renewable Energy Sources in Moldova
    Renewable Energy Regulation in Moldova CONTENT This article is purported to provide a “flash” on the regulation of renewable energy (“RE”) in Moldova, NATURE AND IMPORTANCE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY including an overview of available incentives and IN MOLDOVA guarantees to the parties interested in investing in this area. REGULATION AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK Please note, that the information contained herein is provided for general information purposes only and MANUFACTURING AND TRADING REQUIREMENTS does not constitute legal advice. For a more detailed expertise, please address your questions or concerns INCENTIVES AVAILABLE TO RENEWABLE ENERGY to us or any other local renewable energy expert. COMPANIES We hope you will find this article informative and helpful for your business activity in the Republic of Moldova. With kind regards, ACI Partners Team Chisinau, May 2013 © ACI Partners 2013 Nature and Importance of Renewable Energy in Moldova During the last couple of years, Moldova has begun to promote and expand its RE industry. The absence of energy resources and increasing dependence on imports of energy propelled RE into a strategic priority, which became a hot spot for both local and foreign investments. With only 5% of local conventional energy resources, Moldova depends heavily upon imported energy resources, mostly from Russia or Ukraine. This situation fostered the necessity to identify and promote alternative energy resources and further unlock the Moldova’s authorities propensity toward RE. In line with the objectives of the European Union, Moldova has set a national target to reach 20% of renewable energy in the total energy consumption by 2020. According to the data provided for by the Moldovan Energy Strategy the renewable energy resources (“RES”) available in Moldova (biomass, hydro-electric, solar and wind energy) have the potential to cover the whole country current consumption needs.

  • Partnership for Moldova, Partnership for Development 2005-2011 the United Nations
    THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE EUROPEAN UNION: PARTNERSHIP FOR MOLDOVA, PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT 2005-2011 The United Nations and the European Union: Partnership for Moldova, Partnership for Development, 2005-2011 Chisinau, 2011 Foreword by UN Resident Coordinator in the Republic of Moldova The United Nations and the European Union have provided support to the Republic of Moldova in recent years through development projects as well as during crisis situations. Our joint work has been recognized equally by our Government counterparts and the people we have helped. We have united our efforts in building a democratic and prosperous Moldova and also responded jointly to the drought and floods that have affected the country. Having spent several years in Moldova, I noticed that the word ‘prosperous’ in Romanian also means ‘hope’. I believe that as development partners, we have managed to feed people’s hope for a better life and we have helped many dreams come true by supporting the most vulnerable and creating opportunities for various initiatives. When we speak about opportunities for development – for the entire country and for each citizen – we have to highlight the focus on human rights and gender equality, as well as the cooperation between the United Nations and the European Union for the benefit of the Republic of Moldova. The European Union has become the most important donor of the United Nations in Moldova. Cooperation by the United Nations and the European Union with the Government has also contributed to speeding up Moldova’s progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Together, we are focusing our efforts in areas where people are most in need of our support, regardless of their social statute or geographical location.

  • Part I: Introduction
    Energy Conservation in Moldova ABSTRACT The importance of energy conservation in all the aspects of energy production, transportation, distribution and utilisation should not be underestimated. A special attention to that is paid since the oil crisis in 70’s of the last century. Today energy efficiency has increased considerably, but there is still a potential for energy savings. This potential is widely spread in power plants, energy supply systems, factories, plants, agricultural and residential facilities. In the countries in transition, such as former socialist countries, energy saving policies have started not so long time ago and a lot of work is to be done in order to improve energy efficiency and approach the level of developed countries. In Moldova, the energy sector is one of the most problematic parts of the national economy. 98% of the primary energy resources are imported, which complicates very much energy security in the state. Some internal problems, such as lack of investments in the sector, old and inefficient facilities, uncontrolled and unpaid energy consumption, internal social and political instability create additional difficulties in improving this situation. Industry and residential sector consume the highest amount of the supplied energy. It is obvious that improved energy efficiency in these sectors could lead to big energy savings. Reduction in energy consumption will favourably influence the impact of the energy sector on the environment. The present work aims at identifying energy saving potential in the industrial and residential facilities in Moldova. Interdependence between energy and environment, the positive influence of reduced energy consumption on the environment is shown.
