Moldova Turns a 60-Day Emergency Into a Winter Energy-Security Firewall

Moldova’s parliament approved a nationwide 60-day state of emergency in the energy and hydrological sectors beginning September 26, 2026. The government says the measure is preventive, aimed at giving authorities faster tools before winter as drought, electricity-import dependence, fuel-market stress and regional-war risks overlap. The system signal is that Moldova is treating water, electricity, fuel and cross-border grid access as one integrated resilience stack.
