ANRE expects electricity prices to rise by up to 15%

Up to 15% — that is how much electricity tariffs for end consumers could rise, according to an estimate by ANRE director Alexei Țaran.

No increase has been approved yet. First, the regulator must approve the regulated price of the central supplier Energocom, which buys power from combined heat and power plants and renewable producers. Only then will suppliers run their calculations and file tariff requests. Țaran said the percentage increase will be smaller than for gas and heating, because the cost components partly offset each other.

Households in central and southern Moldova served by Premier Energy currently pay 3.56 lei per kWh, while those in the north served by Furnizarea Energiei Electrice Nord pay 3.95 lei. These tariffs were approved by ANRE on 31 March 2026.

What it means for you

• Electricity bills may go up in the coming months — budget with a margin.
• Businesses with high consumption (refrigeration, ovens, production) may want to review costs and prices now.
• The exact figure will be known only after ANRE rules on the suppliers’ requests.
