MAIN CHALLENGES
• Given specifics of the natural gas and power markets in Moldova, the main challenges regarding liberalization of energy markets are:
- To ensure effective unbundling of TSO from producers and suppliers in the natural gas sector;
- To establish procedure for switching suppliers by customers, in maximum 3 weeks (in both electricity and natural gas sectors);
![Page 12: Market liberalization in Moldova -main challenges- Chisinau, May 16, 2013 Veronica Muruziuc Seventh Partnership Activity](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f585503460f94c7d83a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
MAIN CHALLENGES
- To encourage the entrance of new suppliers on the energy markets:- introduction of obligation for non-household customers to
buy electricity from the market (could be an option?);
- To establish a day-ahead market: - At the level of Energy Community a SEE WMO Report was
developed. One of the conclusions was that until Moldova joins ENTSO-E (in about 8 years according to the Report) , the possibility to create a common market with Ukraine should be considered.
- To establish a balancing market, an ancillary services market.
