PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation (What)
Moldova can only cover a quarter of its energy needs with its own resources and is dependent on gas and oil imports from abroad. The energy crisis resulting from the Russian attack on Ukraine is therefore having particularly negative consequences for the population and economy in Moldova: 60 percent of the population is currently suffering from energy-related poverty due to the high electricity and gas costs. Energy products have become more than 200 percent more expensive in some cases, which is also putting a strain on trade and industry.
A lack of diversification in the energy supply is contributing to these negative effects: over 90 percent of (central) electricity and heat generation is based on natural gas. Renewable energies account for 26 percent of the total energy supply, but this figure mainly refers to the use of firewood in residential buildings. As a candidate for EU accession, Moldova is also obliged to implement extensive reforms in the energy sector in a very short time.
Goal (What for and why)
Moldova has better structures, processes and instruments to implement the goals for energy efficiency and renewable energies.
Approach (How? Who? Where?)
The project supports the Ministry of Energy, the National Agency for Sustainable Energy, municipal and other actors in implementing the ambitious goals in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energies.
One focus is on residential buildings, which are responsible for more than half of total energy consumption, and the state energy efficiency fund. Integrated specialists and experts su
