Original Press Release:

Aug. 18 -- National Energy Regulatory Agency of the Republic of Moldova issued the following news release:

The Board of Directors of the National Agency for Energy Regulation (ANRE) approved, in a public meeting, the amendment to the Natural Gas Network Code, approved by ANRE Decision no. 420/2019.

The amendments aim to operationalize the mechanism for providing aggregate capacity at cross-border interconnection points and adapt the national regulatory framework to the new European requirements applicable to the natural gas market.

The need to amend the Code is determined by the application of Regulation (EU) 2024/1789 on the internal markets in gas from renewable sources, natural gas and hydrogen. From 5 August 2026, the rules on network codes and relevant guidelines shall also apply to entry points from and exit points to third countries.

The new rules simplify the procedure for booking transmission capacity. Previously, suppliers had to separately book exit capacity from the neighboring country and separately book entry capacity into Moldova. Starting with the new gas year 2026/2027, suppliers will book aggregate exit and entry capacity in a single operation. The measure aims to increase competition, facilitate market integration and stimulate cross-border transactions on the natural gas market.

Thus, suppliers licensed in the Republic of Moldova will be able to carry out import and supply activities without being obliged, in all cases, to directly own the aggregate capacity or to individually meet the commercial and licensing conditions applicable in neighboring jurisdictions.

The approved solution aims to ensure effective access to the market, including for smaller suppliers, while maintaining the financial security of the transmission system operator and the clear delimitation of responsibilities between the holder and the beneficiary.

Through the approved amendments, ANRE aims to ensure that the application of the new rules regarding aggregate capacity is adapted to the realities of the natural gas market in the Republic of Moldova and does not constitute, in practice, a barrier to the access of domestic suppliers to the regional market.
