The Ministry of Energy announced on Wednesday that the heightened alert status, which had been imposed due to regional risks affecting the security of electricity and petroleum products, expired on June 23 and will not be extended.
However, authorities acknowledge that some supply-related risks remain.
“The decision was made following an analysis of recent developments in the energy market, including in the regional context, and is aimed at restoring the full functioning of the electricity and petroleum products markets, despite the persistence of certain supply-related risks”, according to a statement from the Ministry of Energy.
The ministry states that it is maintaining a high level of monitoring and readiness for potential crisis situations.
During the period of heightened readiness, measures were taken that helped maintain the stability of the power system and made it possible to avoid significant costs associated with activating emergency assistance mechanisms.
Domestic energy supply covered 40% of consumption
In April 2026, electricity supplied under emergency contracts was required for only four hours on days with abnormally high consumption levels.
At the same time, the ministry notes that temporary restrictions on export capacity during periods of peak consumption and measures to optimize domestic consumption helped strengthen energy security and reduce the load on the system.
The ministry also reports a steady increase in energy production from renewable sources, noting that in April, May, and June, domestic energy production—including renewable sources—covered approximately 40% of consumption.
“With regard to petroleum products, it should be noted that assessments conducted on June 23, 2026, indicate that the petroleum products market in Moldova continues to function normally, without significant supply disruptions or risks of shortages. Economic operators have sufficient inventory, and import flows are being maintained through existing logistics channels. There are no immediate risks of disruptions in the supply of petroleum products,” the Ministry of Energy’s statement also reads.
