Moldova has completely stopped buying Russian gas, said the country's president, Maya Sandu.
According to her, the Vulkanesti-Chisinau power transmission line was launched, connecting the country with Romania and the European energy system. The new power line with a length of about 157 kilometers makes it possible to receive electricity from Romania and the EU countries, while bypassing the energy center of Transnistria in Cuciurgan, which previously supplied a significant part of Moldova's needs. The project, worth 61 million euros, was financed by the World Bank, but its implementation was delayed due to the war in Ukraine and technical problems.
Sandu also reported that two more power lines to Romania are on the way. At the same time, new supplies will be more expensive for consumers, and Moldova itself experienced an energy crisis in the past after the cessation of Russian gas transit through Ukraine.
