Moldova will implement an information system for certifying the energy efficiency of buildings, spending approximately $0.5 million on its creation
As reported by the National Center for Sustainable Energy, in the next 12 months, Moldova will create an information system for developing and issuing energy efficiency certificates for buildings. A contract worth $496,000 was signed on March 11. The development of this system is part of the Sustainable Transition through Energy Efficiency in Moldova (STEEM) project, financed by the World Bank. During the signing ceremony, Ruslan Surugiu, director of the Consoloidated Unit for the Implementation and Monitoring of Energy Projects (UCIPE), noted that the signing of this contract marks an important step in the development of digitalization in the energy efficiency sector. According to him, UCIPE, as the institution responsible for the project, will monitor and coordinate the development of the information system to ensure that it meets the requirements of the beneficiary institutions and is implemented within the established deadlines. The system will contribute to the optimization of the processes of developing and managing energy efficiency certificates for buildings. It should be noted that, in accordance with the legal framework, the government decree on the creation and approval of the concept of the SINEE integrated information system, all activities related to the development and issuance of energy efficiency certificates and the preparation of reports on the inspection of heating/ventilation and air conditioning systems are carried out through the “Energy Efficiency of Buildings” information subsystem. Ion Muntean, Director of the National Center for Sustainable Energy, explained that the system automates the process of developing and issuing energy efficiency certificates for buildings and will become an important working tool for energy efficiency experts, institutions that track and use information on the energy efficiency of buildings, and other interested parties. “The portal will make data from all information subsystems publicly available to citizens and provide online access to the services offered by the National Center for Sustainable Energy. Thus, centralizing energy saving data will also enable more effective planning of measures to improve energy efficiency and use renewable energy sources, contributing to the achievement of national goals in this area,” he said. Along with the SIEEC information system, the contractor will also develop other IT modules to improve the efficiency of institutions and ensure public access to data. These include: a publicly accessible CNED portal for open access to relevant information, documents, and e-services; an electronic register of energy efficiency specialists (SIRSEE) for registering, updating, and managing information on authorized specialists; a data analysis and reporting platform for the automatic generation of statistical and administrative reports; a system administration and functionality subsystem for the integration and security of all IT applications within a single administrative structure. Ultimately, the implementation of the information system will contribute to achieving Moldova's goal of reducing final energy consumption by 0.8% annually, as well as reducing bills for the population, government agencies, and economic entities. // 11.03.2026 — InfoMarket.
