Moldova's Energy Crisis

The cessation of Russian gas supplies poses a significant challenge for Moldova, particularly impacting the Transnistrian region, which has historically relied on such supplies. While the majority of Moldova has been purchasing gas on international markets for over two years, the loss of gas for electricity generation creates a dire need for alternative energy sources. Moldova's government must now find solutions to avoid a humanitarian crisis in Transnistria, where residents have not been paying market prices for energy. The socioeconomic repercussions of this energy loss could be severe, as the government grapples with rising costs to secure alternative energy supplies.
