According to the Ministry of Energy and the state-owned company Energocom, specifically, a shortfall of approximately 62 MWh is forecast in commercial mode from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. tonight, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. — 129 MWh, and from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. — 112 MWh. Authorities state that they are making every effort to ensure Moldova's power supply and will use emergency power supply mechanisms to maintain system stability. They emphasize that a voluntary reduction in consumption by every citizen this evening could change the situation. Through collective efforts, we can reduce the load on the system and limit the need for additional measures, which could prove even more costly. The Ministry of Energy and the state-owned company Energocom note that the entire region is feeling the effects of the abnormal heat. Electricity consumption has risen significantly, and production is also being affected by weather conditions. Very low water levels in the Danube are reducing the ability of several nuclear power plants to operate normally, as water is necessary for cooling the facilities. Moldova is part of the regional energy market and relies on imports, so the shortage in the region also affects the amount of energy we can purchase. // 05.08.2026 — InfoMarket
