Maia Sandu announced the need to introduce a state of emergency in the energy sector of Moldova

The global energy crisis is forcing Moldova to take serious measures to ensure that its population continues to receive water, fuel and gas. This is what NewsMaker reported, the president of this country, Maia Sandu, said.

She drew attention to how gas and fuel prices were rising, as well as the drop in water levels in rivers, which resulted in a jump in electricity prices. In such a situation, she said, a state of emergency should be declared in the energy and hydrological sectors. In addition, government agencies must provide opportunities for imports and alternative routes for the supply of electricity, as well as create reserves of equipment and spare parts for possible elimination of accidents. Emergency reserves of petroleum products are also needed.
