On November 8, Moldova energized the Vulcănești-Chișinău power line, enhancing energy ties with Romania and reducing reliance on Transnistria's infrastructure. This 157-kilometer line allows direct electricity transport from Romania to Chișinău, bypassing the Cuciurgan node. The project, costing 61 million euros, aims to bolster Moldova's energy independence and security. President Maia Sandu emphasized that this infrastructure will prevent energy-related coercion from Moscow, marking a significant step towards energy autonomy. Future projects include two additional high-voltage connections with Romania to further diversify energy sources and integrate Moldova into the European energy system.
