Transport sector is the second-largest energy consumer (around 0.7 Mtoe) and the main driver in oil consumption growth. Renewables represent 20% of Moldova’s energy mix, consisting almost fully of solid biofuels (19% in 2018). 6% of electricity generation comes from renewable sources (hydro, wind, solar PV).
As part of the reforms, Moldova restructured and partially privatized its electricity distribution network, including Premier Energy, a private company that controls 70 percent of the country’s electric distribution grid.
Moldova shares energy data through five annual International Energy Agency (IEA)/Eurostat/UN Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) joint questionnaires.
Moldova 2 consumes around 4 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe) of energy per year (4.1 Mtoe in 2018), comparable to energy consumption in Luxembourg. Moldova’s energy self-sufficiency is very low, among the lowest in the world.
