The power system of Moldova is operating under pressure, following the massive attacks launched by the Russian Federation on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Energy Minister Dorin Junghietu has said. The strikes damaged a significant power group in the region nearby Moldova and the interconnection lines have come close to their maximum load.

As a result of the exceeding of the planned flow, the national operator Moldelectrica has asked for emergency aid from Romania for the following hours, a measure meant to stabilize the network and avoid the risk of overloads.

“The interconnection lines are almost at their limit. Following the exceeding of the planned flow, Moldelectrica proactively requested emergency aid from Romania for the next few hours.
