Moldova inaugurates high-voltage line to Romania, halves Russian electricity dependence

Moldova has inaugurated a high-voltage interconnection with Romania that bypasses the pro-Russian separatist region of Transnistria, enabling it to meet half of its electricity demand from non-Russian sources. This reduces Moscow's leverage over Moldova's energy supply, though Russia retains political influence. The move is part of a broader EU-backed effort to integrate Moldova's energy grid with Europe.

Moldova Ends Russian Energy Dependence, Integrates with EU Grid

Moldova has significantly reduced its energy dependence on Russia by inaugurating a new power line to Romania, bypassing Transnistria, and ceasing Russian gas imports. This development, largely confirmed by multiple sources, marks a strategic shift towards EU energy integration, though full operational details and pricing remain partially unconfirmed.
