The electricity generation capacities in Moldova led to the production of a volume of power that enabled to achieve the target of 3.04% of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption. The data show the situation in 2019. A year earlier, this indicator was 2.63%, while earlier, in 2010, it was 1.81%, IPN reports, quoting an infographic presented today by the Energy Efficiency Agency (EEA).

By the law on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources of 2016, it was set the objective of achieving a share of renewable energy of at least 17% of gross final energy consumption in 2020. According to statistics, this share in 2019 was 23.84%. In 2018, this indicator was 27.46%, while in 2017 – 27.84%.

The EEA presented also a film about the current situation in the field of renewable energy, as regards the energy generation capacities, in accordance with the data available up to the end of 2020 in Moldova.

The share of renewable energy in gross final energy consumption in 2020 was 22% at hydropower plants, 7% at photovoltaic power stations, 62% at Aeolian plants and 9% at biogas cogeneration power plants.
