Moldova is facing a growing energy crisis, particularly in the Transnistrian region, after Russia's Gazprom cut off gas supplies. President Maia Sandu’s pro-European policies, along with Ukraine’s decision to stop Russian gas transit, have created tension and hardship for both Moldova and Transnistria. As Moldova seeks alternatives from Romania and Europe, the high costs and instability of European energy pose new challenges.

Amid Moldova's ongoing energy crisis, President Sandu's administration is securing alternative energy sources. Romania has stepped in to provide electricity, but questions arise about Moldova's energy transactions with Ukraine.

In response to Russia's cessation of gas supplies, Moldova has enacted measures to reduce electricity consumption by at least one-third, including limiting street lighting and adjusting work schedules for energy-intensive businesses.
