According to the Ministry of Energy, participants in Moldova's electricity market are invited to an informational seminar on the operation of the Organized Market for Bilateral Contracts (Pieței Organizate a Contractelor Bilaterale), which will take place on October 23 (2:00 p.m.) online. The seminar will cover the operating principles of the Organized Market for Bilateral Contracts, trading mechanisms, the roles and responsibilities of participants, and key operational procedures. The Organized Market for Bilateral Electricity Contracts will enable the conclusion of medium- and long-term electricity purchase and sale agreements in a transparent, competitive, and non-discriminatory environment. Generators will be able to sell electricity in advance, suppliers will be able to purchase electricity for trading, and system operators will be able to purchase the electricity needed to cover their own operational consumption and grid losses. As noted by the Ministry of Energy, the development of this market is part of the process of consolidating the electricity market in Moldova. The launch of the Organized Market for Bilateral Electricity Supply Contracts is provided for in the Action Plan for Preparing for the 2026–2027 Heating Season, approved by the government. The event is organized by the Moldovan Energy Market Operator (OPEM) in cooperation with the Electricity and Natural Gas Market Operator (OPCOM). // 20.10.2026 — InfoMarket.
