In October 2026, Energocom, Moldova’s central electricity supplier, bought 298,516 MWh at a weighted average price of EUR 195.90 per MWh. In September it paid EUR 157.42 per MWh — EUR 38.48, or 19.64%, less.

Local generation covered 22.71% of the volume: 13.39% came from renewable plants and parks and 9.32% from Termoelectrica and CET-Nord. The remaining 77.29% was imported — 47.77% under bilateral contracts with regional suppliers and 29.52% bought on Romania’s day-ahead market (OPCOM).

These prices exclude taxes, transmission, capacity reservation and other logistics costs.

What it means for you

• Higher wholesale costs add pressure on retail tariffs — suppliers have already asked ANRE for increases.
• Energy-intensive businesses (manufacturing, HoReCa, warehouses) should revisit their winter budgets.
• Energy-efficiency measures and solar panels become more cost-effective.
