Why did Moldova launch its first wind and solar power plant?CHISINAU, Aug 16 (Reuters) - Moldova launched its first tender for wind and solar power plants on Friday as part of a push to reduce its reliance on Russian energy. "Opening up for investors to develop renewables is yet another critical step towards ensuring greater energy security for Moldova," Energy Minister Victor Parlicov told Reuters.
What's going on with Moldova's energy infrastructure?That action, he said, included connecting Moldova's grid to the European Network of Transmission System Operators (ENTSO-E), upgrading energy infrastructure to receive natural gas from diverse sources, and building electricity lines to enhance its connection with the European Union.
Will Moldova get a 15-year fixed price guarantee?The winning investor will get a 15-year fixed price guarantee for the electricity generated. Official data shows Moldova increased the share of renewable energy sources in its electricity consumption to 10.5% in 2023 from 3.6% in 2021, driven by wind and sol
