The Moldova Energy and Biomass Project, funded by the European Union and implemented by UNDP, aims to contribute to a more secure, competitive and sustainable energy production in the Republic of Moldova through targeted support to the most viable and readily available local source of renewable energy, namely biomass from agricultural wastes. The project purpose is to increase the use of renewable energy technology significantly through fuel switching and energy efficiency. It primarily focuses on improving heating comfort levels in rural public sector buildings including schools and community centers by using biomass from agricultural wastes. The project also stimulates local markets for improved household heating; industrial cogeneration, and biomass-based briquetting, as well as raise local capacity in the biomass sector, and promote the benefits of biomass energy and the project. After 4 years of project implementation, the project has been extended until end 2017. The main objective of the project extension is to scale up the successful activities and extend them to so far not covered or underrepresented regions, specifically Transnistria, Gagauzia and Taraclia, and to support the further consolidation of the Biomass market.

The focus will be on the further development of the domestic biomass fuel market. Integrated renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions will be piloted. Output 2. Foundations laid for establishment of efficient household heating, industrial cogeneration and biomass briquetting markets At least 125 households and/or small business will be supported to procure modern and efficient biomass boilers under preferential conditions. Technical and financial support will be provided for the creation of 9 new PPPs throughout the country to foster PPPs for establishing biomass-based heating services and efficient operation and maintenance of the systems.

Vocational education and training (VET) sector will be addressed in view of a consolidated effort to equip the Moldovan labor force in support of the emerging markets. The school education activities on renewable energy and energy efficiency will be extended to small towns from Moldova, Taraclia district, Gagauzia and wherever feasible in Transnistria). Output 4. The opportunities and benefits of biomass energy for Moldova are well known, visibility of project results is promoted Wide-spread awareness raising activity on the opportunities and benefits of biomass energy will be further facilitated, with a specific focus on increasing the uptake of renewable energy technologies in ATU Gagauzia and Taraclia district, and Transnistria Region, and visibility of the partnership and impact of the action will be effectively promoted. Scope of work
