POWER Moldova Act of 2026

The POWER Moldova Act of 2026 requires the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of Energy, to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 180 days of enactment. This report will analyze Moldova's energy sector, detailing its production, imports, consumption, and the transparency of pricing and billing practices, while also identifying vulnerabilities in its energy infrastructure. A key focus is assessing the potential for renewable energy development, including geothermal, solar, and wind resources, along with their feasibility, investment needs, and deployment barriers. The legislation also calls for an overview of ongoing international cooperation efforts with Moldova, encompassing leadership training and military interoperability, underscoring the strategic bilateral relationship and commitment to Moldova's resilience.
