The update to Moldova’s National Programme for Accession to the European Union for 2025–2029 was discussed at preliminary public consultations on 4 November under Cluster IV, ‘Green Agenda and Sustainable Interconnectivity’. This cluster covers transport, energy, trans-European networks, the environment and climate.

In the energy sector, priorities for 2027 include improving the energy efficiency of buildings, developing renewable energy, improving the regulation of the electricity and natural gas markets, and enhancing the transparency of wholesale energy trading.

There are also plans to update mechanisms for ensuring the security of gas supplies, including stock management, and to adapt national regulations to new EU requirements on preventing market manipulation in the energy sector.

According to the Ministry of Energy, the results already achieved include the simplification of authorisation procedures for renewable energy projects, the strengthening of legislation on the security of oil product supplies, and the adoption of Moldova’s Energy Strategy for 2026–2050.
