Moldau is faced with energy collapse: Emergency for the Gasengpass from Russia!

Klausenburger Straße, 1100 Wien, Österreich - The Moldova government faces enormous challenges in view of the abrupt setting of gas deliveries by the Russian Gazprom group. This decision, which will be effective on January 1, 2025, was no longer subsidized by the announced intentions of Ukraine to no longer subsidize the case of gas transitism due to the continuing conflict with Russia. Moldau has already proclaimed an emergency to react to the impending energy crisis, since the country depends heavily on Russian natural gas, as vienna.at reported.

Romania's steps to energy security

While Moldova is worried about energy, Romania plans to promote its gas deposits in the Black Sea in order to make the EU more independent of Russian deliveries. The Romanian government under Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuca has announced that it would increase gas production, which means that Romania could be able to promote gas up to 20 billion cubic meters per year, such as fr.de informed. In particular, the Neptun Deep Gasfeld off the coast of Romania has great potential that has not yet been exploited.

However, the economic framework in Romania could prove to be an obstacle. Despite the promising occurrences, energy expert Dumitru Chisăliță expects Romanian politics to be crucial for a successful implementation. By taking over Exxonmobils, Romania could drive the construction of the important Brua pipeline, which would make it possible to export gas to other European countries. This infrastructure could make Romania an important provider of regional energy security. Now it remains to be seen whether Moldova, which is largely supplied with electricity from the controversial region of Transnistria, can escape the impending energy crisis or whether measures to strengthen your own energy supply must also be taken here.
