The emergency plants that were to be installed three to five months after delivery will not come to Moldova. The Ministry of Energy has not yet announced other solutions to strengthen the power system. The reports give no new date or sum for this project.
What happened
The Ministry of Energy confirmed that the purchase of 10 modular power plants, 100 MW in total, did not succeed. The 125 MW gas turbine from Norway was not moved to Moldova either. The ministry says calls through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism found no available capacity.
