The coal stock in state reserves has been fully replenished to 100%, while the fuel oil stock has been supplemented within the available storage capacity. The stock of thermal and electrical energy production equipment has also been increased. This information was provided to IPN by the Material Reserves Agency (MRA).
Between 2022 and 2024, MRA's activities focused on both quantitatively and qualitatively replenishing state reserves, as well as ensuring their efficient mobilization and management. Products and equipment necessary to guarantee the state's stability and security have been stored.
As a result of public procurements in 2022, for the first time, the coal stock in state reserves was fully replenished. Meanwhile, the fuel oil stock was supplemented in 2023, within the limits of available storage space.
Between 2022 and 2024, the Material Reserves Agency delivered nearly 63,000 tons of fuel oil to thermal and electrical energy generation enterprises, of which 17,000 tons were provided as loans.
Additionally, the stock of material goods for thermal and electrical energy production was replenished, including cast iron mobile stoves, electric and diesel air cannons, and power generators.
"The presented information refers exclusively to the stocks managed by the Material Reserves Agency, and data on the overall energy reserves of the Republic of Moldova cannot be provided," clarifies the Material Reserves Agency.
The stock of material goods in state and mobilization reserves is continuously replenished within the limits of financial resources allocated from the state budget, ARM representatives note.
The release of goods from state reserves is carried out to intervene in emergency and exceptional situations, in cases of social or economic crises, terrorist attacks, sieges, or wartime.
Additionally, these strategic resources are used to provide humanitarian aid and contribute to stabilizing the situation in national economic sectors, based on decisions made by the Commission for Exceptional Situations, the Prime Minister, or corresponding Government resolutions.
