Global GridMoldova's energy mix and electricity
🇲🇩 In 2025, Moldova generated 2.90 TWh of electricity. The largest source was gas at 64%, followed by hydro (12%) and wind (7.9%). In total, 29% came from low-carbon sources (nuclear and renewables) and 71% from fossil fuels.
On average, each kilowatt hour produced about 510 grams of carbon dioxide (CO₂), above the world average of 458 grams in 2025. That makes Moldova the 99th cleanest of 158 countries that generate at least 1 TWh a year.
Electricity demand was 5.52 TWh. Moldova imported 2.62 TWh more electricity than it exported, equal to 47% of its demand.
Since 2000, electricity generation has fallen by 47%, from 5.45 TWh. The low-carbon share went from 7% to 29%. The biggest rise was in wind, from 0% to 8% of generation. The biggest fall was in gas, from 92% to 64%. Carbon intensity fell from 662 to 510 grams per kWh.

Energy security score
Vulnerable. Moldova ranks 150th of 158 countries and 38th of 39 in Europe. The score shows how well a country could keep electricity affordable and on if fuel supplies were disrupted. It is based on 4 of the 5 measures.
| Measure | Score |
|---|---|
| Produces its own energy No reliable figure exists for Moldova, so this measure is left out and the other four count for more. | n/a |
| Variety of power sources How evenly generation is spread across nine sources. The largest, gas, made 64%. | 63 |
| Little reliance on imported power Net imports were 47% of demand; each 1% takes off 2 points. | 5 |
| Low-carbon power Nuclear and renewables made 29% of generation. | 29 |
| Low gas and oil use Gas and oil made 71% of generation; the score is 100 minus that share. | 29 |
The five measures are weighted 30%, 20%, 20%, 15% and 15%. How the score works.
Oil and gas pipelines
