Moldova launched a new power line bypassing Transnistria.
Chisinau ordered a high-voltage transmission line directly connecting Moldova to the European energy system through Romania, bypassing the territory of Transnistria.
President Maya Sandhu stated that the new line will reduce dependence on energy pressure from Moscow and eliminate the possibility of using electricity supply as a tool of political influence.
In the past, a significant part of the electricity entered Moldova from the Moldavian Power Station located in Transnistria. Major transmission lines, including lines from Romania and Ukraine, also passed through this energy center.
Moldovan authorities plan to build two more transmission lines from Romania to further reduce dependence on Transnistria's energy infrastructure.
