Consumul de energie în Republica Moldova a crescut, după ce Guvernul le-a cerut oamenilor să economisească

Despite calls for energy conservation, Moldova's electricity consumption increased significantly on August 4, leading to emergency purchases at high prices. The Energy Minister highlighted the importance of saving energy as the cheapest and safest source. The country faced a deficit during peak hours, forcing it to buy electricity from regional markets. The government is implementing new measures to manage energy and water shortages, including limiting exports and reducing public lighting. Public reactions to the conservation efforts have been mixed, with some supporting and others criticizing the authorities.
