? The Republic of Moldova is also targeted in the European Commission's plan - REPowerEU, which was developed to urgently transform the European energy system through the need to eliminate the EU's dependence on fossil fuels from Russia and the need to manage the climate crisis. The REPowerEU plan envisages saving energy, producing renewable energy and diversifying energy supply sources.
