Premier Energy asks ANRE to raise electricity price to 4.64 lei per kWh

4.64 lei per kWh is what households in central and southern Moldova could pay if ANRE approves Premier Energy’s request. The current price is 3.56 lei.

Moldova’s largest electricity supplier has filed a request with the energy regulator ANRE to raise regulated prices. For households the increase would exceed 30%. For customers connected to medium-voltage networks the company is asking for 4.10 lei/kWh (+35%), and for high-voltage customers 3.91 lei/kWh (+38%).

The supplier cites higher purchase costs: the current tariff assumed an average price of 2.62 lei/kWh, while the estimate for 2026 is 2.89 lei. The company also wants to recover tariff deviations of about 400 million lei by the end of the year. The final decision rests with ANRE.

What it means for you

• Businesses in the centre and south, especially heavy users (manufacturing, HoReCa, retail), should revisit their winter energy budgets.
• Now is a good time for simple savings: LED lighting, equipment schedules, metering by zone.
• Watch for ANRE’s decision: a new price applies only once approved. In the north, FEE Nord may file a similar request.
