Power Plants in Moldova
Moldova has 4 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 137th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 2 operating and 1 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 1.2 GW across 2 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Kuchurgan power station (1.6 GW).
The largest owner-operators are Moldavskaya GRES CJSC (2) and Termoelectrica SA (2) — Moldavskaya GRES CJSC alone is named on 50% of them. 1 is in the pipeline, led by Chisinau Thermoelectric Source 1 power station (250 MW), proposed. They account for 31% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Moldova.
