More than 40 rural households in Moldova start energy rehabilitation works, with EU and Germany support
The National Centre for Sustainable Energy (CNED) of Moldova has announced the launch of energy renovation works in the first 41 vulnerable households located in rural areas of the Republic of Moldova.
The works are financed under the Energy Efficiency Fund in the Residential Sector (FEERM), supported by the European Union and the German Government. Beneficiaries contribute only 5% of the total cost of work.
The works are scheduled to be completed before the beginning of the cold season. The beneficiary families were previously selected based on technical and social criteria, being located in the districts of Călărași, Strășeni, Telenești, Orhei, Criuleni, Ungheni, Hîncești, Sîngerei, and Briceni.
“Through these investments, we achieve not only reduced energy consumption, but also a more decent standard of living, providing people with stability and confidence in the future,” said Minister of Energy, Dorin Junghietu.
“For our family, these renovation works mean a lot. Until now, winters were difficult, with high bills and cold inside the house. With the rehabilitation, we hope to have a warmer home and lower expenses, so we can live more comfortably and provide better conditions for our children,” said Valeriu Tkachenko, the homeowner.
The financial support for these works is part of a broader initiative to improve the energy efficiency of individual households in rural areas with a high degree of energy vulnerability, supported by the European Union and the German Government. In total, with EU support, up to 180 vulnerable rural households across the country will undergo rehabilitation.
The FEERM is a national programme dedicated to the energy rehabilitation of individual houses and residential blocks, with an estimated budget of 1.4 billion MDL by 2027. Its goal is to increase energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve living conditions for the population. The programme was developed by the Government of the Republic of Moldova with financial support from the European Union, implemented by the National Centre for Sustainable Energy and the Ministry of Energy, and funded through the ‘Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for Moldova’ (E4M)project. E4M is implemented by GIZ together with the Government of the Republic of Moldova, financed by the German Government and co-financed by the European Union, Norway, and Denmark.
