The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, in partnership with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Moldova, held a round table and launched a policy study on Moldova's transition to renewable energy. The event brought together experts, government officials, diplomats, academics and private companies to discuss opportunities and challenges.

The study, written by associate expert Alexandru Zgardan, analyses Moldova's renewable energy potential and proposes concrete recommendations for speeding up the transition, stressing the strategic importance of diversifying energy sources and strengthening national energy security. Ambassador Fred Duijn reaffirmed Dutch support and called energy interconnection essential for reducing dependence on monopolists.

State Secretary at the Ministry of Energy Carolina Novac said installed renewable capacity has grown eightfold since 2020, the share of electricity consumption from renewables has risen sixfold, and in 2024 it reached 16% of annual consumption. Expert-Grup executive director Adrian Lupușor urged ambition, citing export of surplus energy, balancing, distribution networks and electrification, with EU support. Participants stressed continuous dialogue between authorities, experts and the private sector.
