7 July 2025, Chisinau — Between January and June 2025, Moldovan entrepreneurs received compensation totalling RON 65.2 million to cover electricity costs. The measure is part of the Compensation Programme launched by the Government of the Republic of Moldova, with the financial support of the European Union.

During the six months of implementation, 715 unique beneficiaries received support from this programme, designed to reduce the financial burden on small and medium-sized enterprises, sustain business continuity and maintain the competitiveness of the business environment in a context of fluctuating energy prices.

Also under this programme, the Agency for Intervention and Payments in Agriculture (AIPA) granted compensation totalling over RON 18 million to 481 unique beneficiaries in the agricultural sector.
“The results of the first six months show that this programme responds to a real need of entrepreneurs. Together with the European Union, we continue to work to get support where it is needed: fast, Efficient and Transparent ", said Doina Nistor, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Economic Development and Digitalisation.

The programme remains active throughout 2025 and entrepreneurs can submit 100 % applications online, either via the EVO application or the MCabinet platform.

In order to better respond to the needs of the business environment, the programme was adjusted during implementation. The most important changes include:
● Extension of the deadline for submitting applications from 10 to 30 days;
● Removal of the 3 % eligibility threshold to allow access to more beneficiaries;
● Extension of the duration of the programme for the whole of 2025 (initially only foreseen for three months).
