Moldova gradually restores electric supply after emergency shutdown

Energy Minister Dorin Junghietu announced that power supply is being gradually restored across most regions of Moldova.

• Main action: The minister said power supply is in an advanced stage of restoration nationwide; 110 kV lines and substations in the south have been re-energized and 110 kV and 10 kV lines in northern and north‑western areas have been reconnected. He requested citizens to rationalize electricity consumption and said authorities expect resolution within at most two hours.
• Background and details: Disturbances were recorded at 10:42 after a voltage drop on the 400 kV Isaccea–Vulcanesti–MGRES high‑voltage line, attributed to faults in Ukraine’s electricity grid; Moldelectrica teams are working in emergency mode and authorities are cooperating with the power operator in Ukraine to restore connections.
