Also, by this date, a first interconnection line with Romania (LEA400kV Vulcanesti-Chi\u0219in\u0103u) should have been completed. Today, none of this has been achieved,\u201d Marcela Lefter told the Economic Council Secretariat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, according to the AmCham representative, the business community is concerned about the Government\u2019s intention to increase the quota for the \u201cfixed tariff\u201d support scheme of 90 euro MWh for small renewable energy projects up to 1MW for the next 15 years. The business sector argues that only the application of competitive mechanisms \u2013 such as the tendering \u2013 can reduce the impact of the tariff on the final consumer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Government Decision No 401 of 2021, the Government must auction 105 MW produced by wind turbines and 60 MW produced by solar energy.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Secretariat of the Economic Council to the Prime Minister is supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, funded by the UK Government\u2019s Good Governance Fund, and the International Finance Corporation\u2019s Investment Climate Reform Project funded by the Government of Sweden\u2019s International Development Agency.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"461\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/consecon.gov.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Untitled-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/consecon.d.ourbox.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Untitled-1.png 461w, https:\/\/consecon.d.ourbox.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Untitled-1-300x59.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreign investors are waiting for the auction of 1654 MW to be produced from renewable sources According to data from Moldelectrica, there are currently 44 registered investment projects in the field of renewable energy production, which would qualify for the tender, with a total power of over 1000 MW.
