Electricity consumption to increase by 17% on Monday

Tomorrow, electricity consumption on the right bank of the Nistru is expected to increase by 17% compared to the previous day, although demand is 3% lower than a typical winter day, according to Energocom.

According to the source, consumption demand will primarily be met through imports, based on bilateral contracts and the Romanian stock exchange. In this context, Energocom announced that it has made the necessary capacity reservations at the border with Romania to ensure electricity supply for consumers.

Approximately 10% of energy needs for this day will be sourced from renewable resources, such as wind and solar energy. Additionally, the institution estimates that power plants in Chișinău and Bălți will produce less electricity due to the high temperatures expected during this period.

Correspondence Dan Alexe // The Presidency of Poland and a pro-EU agenda

"Our future is in our hands, not in those of the Chinese or Americans, and we should not be afraid," said Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk before the European Parliament when presenting his country's priorities for the six months of Poland's presidency of the EU Council. Under the motto "Security—Europe!" Warsaw has chosen to place security and defense at its European agenda. Poland's EU presidency in the first half of 2025 will focus on the integration of Ukraine and the enlargement of the EU, strengthening EU-US relations, rebuilding Ukraine after the war, and ensuring energy security in the EU.

Tiraspol is asking for gas on loan. Chișinău is negotiating an agreement

The self-proclaimed authorities in Tiraspol are requesting a loan of three million cubic meters of gas from Chișinău to cover the needs of the Transnistrian region. A special commission from Chișinău is expected to analyze this request during the day, according to the press from Tiraspol. Sources close to the Government mentioned that Chișinău is at an advanced stage of negotiations to identify transparent solutions to the energy crisis in the Transnistrian region. Their success could put an end to the prolonged crisis, help people on both sides of the Nistru, and end the Russian energy blackmail.
