Energy crisis in Moldova. Industrial enterprises in Transnistria have stopped
In the self-proclaimed Transnistria, industrial enterprises have suspended work due to a shortage of energy resources. This was stated by the "Minister of Economic Development" of Transnistria, Serhiy Obolonyk.
According to him, all industrial enterprises are standing by, except for food ones. He says that by January 5, it will be clear how much energy the household sector consumes. The balance will show what can be directed to the needs of enterprises.
Obolonyk called the situation "manageable and predictable," but added that "if the problem with gas supply is not resolved, enterprises will lose the opportunity to restart."
Residents of the self-proclaimed Transnistria have been without gas, heating, and hot water since January 1 due to the cessation of Russian gas supplies.
- Since December 16, Moldova has introduced a state of emergency in the energy sector for 60 days, which is due to the suspension of Russian gas transit through the territory of Ukraine from January 1, 2025.
- At the end of December, Bulgaria promised assistance to Moldova after the supply of Russian gas to the country was stopped.
- On the night of January 2, 2025, Ukraine helped Moldova cover its electricity deficit . The republic will increase imports from the EU.
