Moldova to Offer Tax and Customs Incentives for Energy Storage

What incentives will the state provide for energy storage systems?

Energy storage systems will be incentivised through tax and customs concessions. Business entities connected to the grid via renewable energy generation facilities with storage systems, as well as those importing certain types of batteries, are granted a deferral on the payment of customs debts.

This entitlement is granted for a period of 20 months from the date of the official publication of the amendment and until 31 December 2027. These are amendments to the legislation approved as part of the budgetary, tax and customs policy for 2027. It has also been established that no penalty interest will be charged throughout the entire deferral period.

The debt will be written off if the business submits to the Customs Service a certificate confirming the connection of a renewable energy generation facility with a storage system to the grid and confirms that it has not received any financial support to offset the cost of acquiring the facilities. Such confirmations are issued by the Enterprise Development Organisation, the Agency for Agricultural Interventions and Payments, and the National Centre for Sustainable Energy.

However, if, upon expiry of the grace period, no certificate of grid connection is submitted to the customs authority, the customs service will recover both the debts and the penalties.

Furthermore, Article 1018 has been added to the Tax Code, which regulates VAT refunds on investments in renewable energy sources with storage systems.
