Moldova launches power line bypassing Transnistria to reduce energy dependence on Russia. EVZ.
Chisinau ordered a high voltage line directly connecting Moldova to the European energy grid through Romania, bypassing Transnistria.
President Maya Sandu stated that the new line will reduce the country's dependence on energy pressure from Moscow and eliminate the possibility of using electricity supply as a tool for political influence.
In the past, a significant part of Moldova's electricity came from Moldavskaya GRES, located in Transnistria. This power hub also served as a hub for major power lines, including supply routes from Romania and Ukraine.
Moldovan authorities plan to build two additional power lines from Romania to further reduce dependence on Transnistria's energy infrastructure.
