Energy sector in the Republic of Moldova will be modernized with the financial support of the French Development Agency

The Republic of Moldova will benefit from a 25 million euro loan and a 1.2 million euro grant from the French Development Agency (AFD). According to the Legislative, the money will be granted for the modernization of the energy sector. The credit facilitation agreement between our country and AFD was ratified by Parliament.

The maturity of the loan is 15 years, including the five-year grace period. The loan will be repaid semi-annually, in 20 equal installments. The money is intended for the implementation of reforms in the field of energy infrastructure, energy efficiency, renewable energy, consumer protection and the environment.

It should be noted that previously, the French Development Agency also granted our country financial support of 40 million euros. The support came after, in 2023, the Memorandum of Understanding "Green Reform for Moldova" was signed.

INTERVIEW // Cristina Gherasimov: We expect 2025 to be challenging. We must be united to anchor the Republic of Moldova in the space of peace

The Republic of Moldova advanced during 2024 on the path to accession to the European Union, despite the major challenges caused by the war launched by the Russian Federation in Ukraine and the hybrid pressures against our country. The challenges could continue in 2025, and they derive from the fact that the Russian Federation does not respect the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country, Cristina Gherasimov said in an interview for Moldova1 TV. The Republic of Moldova is working to know how to react in such a way as to diminish the dangers that threaten the European path, and 2030 is a real deadline for completing preparations for accession to the EU.
