A first for the Republic of Moldova regarding the production of green energy. The Ministry of Energy announced that on Saturday, August 23, at 12:00, electricity consumption was fully covered by local energy production from renewable sources.
“Today, at 12:00, the significant effect of the valorization of energy produced from renewable sources was observed! The monitoring platform of the electroenergetic system recorded this absolutely remarkable result – the electricity consumption of the Republic of Moldova was fully covered by local energy production from renewable sources!”, announced the Ministry of Energy, referring to the Monitoring Platform of the Electroenergetic System.
At the end of June 2025, the total installed capacity reached 765.88 MW, marking an increase of 76.71 MW in the last month, and during the first six months of the year an increase of 186.49 MW compared to the end of 2024.
According to the Ministry of Energy, photovoltaic installations with a total installed capacity of 529.39 MW are the most widespread technology and represent 69% of the total installed E-SER capacities. They are followed by wind installations, whose total capacity reached 212.58 MW, representing 28% of the total.
Well done!
Moldova have access to geotermal? And it gets half of its energy from it? Never heard of it, kinda suprised
As long you count natural gas as renewable yes sure.
Meanwhile Trump has destroyed new offshore windmills in the US.
Out of 370 MW, stll 186 MW were generated from Thermal powerplants, which means burning coal or natural gas, which are fossil fuels and thus not renewable. Still, 183 MW were generated from renewables. This means that they generated about 49% from renewables and 51% from fossil fuels, which is basically a half-half split. Considering we’re talking about the country that is traditionally known to be the poorest in Europe, it’s an excellent statistic. That’s a snapshot from one moment though (someday at noon), when solar production is at its maximum. The values for the whole year will be measured in GWh and probably won’t be so good yet. For example, last year (2024) Moldova sourced just 16% of its energy from renewables. They would also need to build up a bit more on hydro and thinking more about energy storage. Nuclear is probably a shot too far for them, considering the prices at the moment.
