Moldovan government's Crisis Cell: Consumption of electric energy covered 100 per cent for 24 January
24 January 2025, Chișinău - The consumption of electric energy on the right bank of Dniester for 24 January is estimated at the level similar to the last days and will be fully covered, according to information made available by the government’s Crisis Cell.
For today, the Energocom stock company reserved the necessary capacity at the border with Romania, in order to supply the consumption of Moldova (right bank of Dniester). The activation of failure contracts and/or unintended flows is not needed. It is worth mentioning that, on 23 January, the Energocom stock company bought, for the first time ever, 15 MW of electric energy on the Romanian Commodity Exchange from Bucharest, - nominated market operator of electric energy from Romania. The test’s goal was to diversify the sources of supply and develop the current partnerships.
On 23 January, the overall consumption of electric energy in Moldova, on the right bank of Dniester, decreased by about 44 per cent to 14,747,000 kWh. The situation concerning the energy sources used is as follows:
- Import of electric energy from Romania – 63.02 per cent
- Termoelectrica stock company – 27.38 per cent
- Renewable energy - 4.98 per cent
- CET-Nord stock company – 3.98 per cent
- Costesti Hydro-electric knot state enterprise - 0.64 per cent
The peak of consumption of electric energy was registered between 17:00 and 20:00, with a maximal power of 938 MW, without exceeding the forecast value of the consumption.
As for the left bank of Dniester, the overall consumption of electric energy was of 4,131,000 kWh, with 90 per cent of the electricity generated by the Kuchurgan power station. Fan five-hour-long disconnections from power supply take place in the region once per day.
Consumers are urged to save electric energy, especially in the peak hours – during 7:00-11:00 and 18:00-23:00, in order to avoid the overburdening of the high-tension power networks and cut the invoices of electric energy.
