Transport and System Operators (OTS) Transelectrica and Moldelectrica signed today the contract that will allow the allocation of capacity for commercial exchanges of electricity on the interconnection between Romania and the Republic of Moldova.

Through the sustained collaboration of the two Transport and System Operators with a view to a common agreement that will materialize through the allocation of interconnection capacity, there will be a dynamic flow of electricity transactions between the participants in the energy market in Romania and those in the Republic Moldova.

Commercial exchanges of electricity with the Republic of Moldova will begin immediately after the completion of the entire process involving the harmonization of technical details and commercial aspects.
