(9 a) The Growth Plan for Moldova should support viable sustainable development projects and help mitigate the “energy state of emergency” declared on 16 December 2024 in the Republic of Moldova and its possible medium and long-term effects, an energy crisis ultimately caused by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The investment projects in the energy sector should ensure energy that is affordable for both the population and economic actors, as long as they contribute to climate change mitigation, are compatible with the 1,5°C pathway, do not hamper the development of low-carbon alternatives, and avoid a lock-in of carbon-intensive assets.
