What is Moldova's energy consumption?

Transport sector is the second-largest energy consumer (around 0.7 Mtoe) and the main driver in oil consumption growth.

Today the domestic renewable energy potential remains relatively untapped but the committed renewable energy capacity in the Republic of Moldova by 2030 is expected to reach 700MW.
