Moldova Electric Power Market Options : Sector Study
The principal strategic challenges that the electricity sector in Moldova faces are to increase the security of electricity supply by diversifying sources, and to provide affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy services. To some extent this could be achieved by increasing and/or rehabilitating local generation capacity where economically justified. In addition, establishing an effective interconnection with the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) would enable the import of competitively priced power from the Energy Community (EnC) and would help overcome Moldova’s electricity sector challenges. Although Moldova joined the EnC in 2010 after having implemented major and successful sector reforms, its electric power system is physically still part of the former Soviet Union’s Integrated Power System/United Power System (IPS/UPS) and is effectively not interconnected with the EU/EnC’s Internal Energy Market (IEM). This sector Study provides guidance to the government on significantly improving Moldova’s security of energy supply via interconnection with ENTSO-E and therefore with the EU/EnC’s internal energy market. The study consists of two main parts: (i) electric power system planning; and (ii) power market design, plus associated annexes.
