The EcoVoucher program will continue in 2026, with 40 million lei earmarked for this purpose
Ion Muntean, Director of the National Center for Sustainable Energy (CNED) announced this at a press conference where he presented the progress made by the institution and its strategic directions for the near future. According to him, one of the most notable and effective tools for improving energy efficiency has been the EcoVoucher program, designed to replace old household appliances with new energy-efficient equipment. Over two years, more than 40,000 people across the country have taken advantage of the program, saving about 8 million kWh (almost 29.8 million lei per year in electricity bills). Each new piece of equipment purchased meant that an old appliance was taken out of service, collected, and sent for recycling, thereby contributing to waste reduction and environmental protection. Ion Muntean said that the EcoVoucher program will continue in 2026, with about 40 million lei planned for this purpose. He specified that CNED aims to increase public awareness and attract additional resources to expand the program's impact. As a reminder, EcoVoucher is a state program in Moldova, supported by the EU and other partners, which helps vulnerable families replace old household appliances (refrigerators, washing machines) with new, more energy-efficient ones, providing vouchers for up to 70% of the cost and thereby reducing electricity bills. Participants receive vouchers for a certain amount (6,000 lei), which can be used in partner stores by trading in old appliances to receive a discount. // 24.12.2025 — InfoMarket.
