MOLDOVAN NATURAL GAS MARKET - SPECIFICS -
COMMITMENTS UNDER TCE• In march 2010 Moldova signed the Energy
Community Accession Protocol:- Under the treaty Moldova had to transpose the
so-called “second energy package”.• According to the Ministerial Council Decision
from 6 October 2011, by 1-st January 2015, the Energy Community Contracting parties should transpose the so-called “third energy package”:
- Directive No. 2009/72/EC; - Directive No. 2009/73/EC;
COMMITMENTS UNDER TCE- Regulation No. 714/2009; - Regulation No. 715/2009.
• The scope of the “second energy package” and of the “third energy package” - ensure liberalization of energy markets.
TCE Contracting parties
MAIN CHALLENGES
• Given specifics of the natural gas and power markets in Moldova, the main challenges regarding liberalization of energy markets are:
- To ensure effective unbundling of TSO from producers and suppliers in the natural gas sector;
- To establish procedure for switching suppliers by customers, in maximum 3 weeks (in both electricity and natural gas sectors);
MAIN CHALLENGES
- To encourage the entrance of new suppliers on the energy markets:- introduction of obligation for non-household customers to
buy electricity from the market (could be an option?);
- To establish a day-ahead market: - At the level of Energy Community a SEE WMO Report was
developed. One of the conclusions was that until Moldova joins ENTSO-E (in about 8 years according to the Report) , the possibility to create a common market with Ukraine should be considered.
- To establish a balancing market, an ancillary services market.
