Abstract
This paper is an energy system analysis of current energy systems in the Republic of Moldova. By recognizing the adverse health effects of pollution-based energy sources, a new energy plan for the Republic of Moldova is introduced. This sustainable energy plan is based on three main renewable energy sources: wind power, solar energy, and pumped hydropower. In addition, the amount of energy produced for electricity and heat, transportation and other residential, commercial, and industrial purposes is assessed and calculated. Then, based on the accessibility of these three main sustainable energy sources in Moldova, a feasible redistribution of the amount of energy accordingly is suggested. This long-term energy plan would serve as a geo-political strategy that also provides Moldova with the opportunity to reduce air pollution and increase their quality of life.
Highlights
Moldova is a small landlocked country in Eastern Europe located in between Romania and Ukraine
Most of the energy consumed in Moldova is used to produce electricity and heat for residential, commercial, industrial as well as a very small amount for transportation
This includes public transportation as well as individual cars. All this information is illustrated in figure 1 below. Speaking, this energy is not a lot but almost most of this energy comes from petroleum, which is a source that Moldova doesn’t have and needs to import it from other countries
Summary
Moldova is a small landlocked country in Eastern Europe located in between Romania and Ukraine. The country’s aspirations for the future are towards the west, joining the European Union and rising its economic level to a European standard They cannot do so, with the continuous influence of foreign regional superpowers, especially regarding the country’s energy use. Through using the available renewable energy sources such as wind, solar energy and filling the gaps with hydropower and biomass energy, Moldova would be able to cut the import of natural gas and petroleum by more than half. This would result in a more stable and selfdependent economy, which would create more possibilities for Moldova to reduce air pollution and increase their quality of life
