Parliament has approved the Government’s proposal to end the state of emergency in the energy sector on 25 April 2026, TRIBUNA reports.

The emergency regime was introduced on 25 March 2026 for 60 days, after Moldova’s main electricity supply line — Vulcănești–Isaccea — was disconnected following Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s civilian energy infrastructure. The outage caused peak‑hour electricity deficits of up to 400 MW.

During the same period, the petroleum products market faced temporary supply disruptions, particularly for diesel, amid instability in the Middle East.

Throughout the emergency, authorities took measures to restore and reactivate the Vulcănești–Isaccea line and ensure electricity supply to all consumers. The 330 kV Bălți–Dnestrovsk overhead line was reconnected, and all four 110 kV interconnection lines with Romania were put into operation. Priority supply was ensured for vital consumers, electricity exports were limited during peak hours, and consumption‑reduction and efficiency measures were applied. The state‑owned operator Moldelectrica was also allowed to make urgent direct‑negotiation procurements.

To stabilize the petroleum market, the Government implemented support measures for economic operators, reducing volatility and preventing major disruptions.

After lifting the state of emergency, the Government will introduce a state of alert for 60 days starting 25 April 2026, allowing continued monitoring and rapid intervention to safeguard the security of electricity and fuel supply, depending on evolving risks.
