The construction of the 400 kV transmission line Vulcanesti-Chisinau and the Back-to-Back station in Vulcanesti will be recognized as a project of national importance.

The construction of the 400 kV transmission line Vulcanesti-Chisinau and the Back-to-Back station in Vulcanesti will be recognized as a project of national importance.

This is provided for by the corresponding draft law approved by the government on proclaiming the public utility of the works of national importance for the construction of the 400 kV transmission line Vulcanesti-Chisinau and the Back-to-Back station in Vulcanesti, which are part of the first phase of the project for interconnecting the electricity networks of Moldova and Romania with a total value of 260 million euros, the purpose of which is to ensure the energy security of the country. The project is planned to be implemented until 2024 with the support of the EBRD (loan 80 million euros), EIB (loan 80 million euros), the International Development Association of the World Bank Group (loan 61 million euros), the European Union (grant 39.4 million euros). The project "Interconnection of electric networks of Moldova and Romania, stage I" provides for the construction of a 400 kV transmission line Vulcanesti-Chisinau with a length of 158 km; construction of a back-to-back converter station in Vulcanesti to provide a connection between the Moldovan power system, the European network of transmission system operators ENTSO-E and the Integrated Electricity System/Unified Energy System (IPS/UPS); modernization and expansion of existing stations in Chisinau and Vulcanesti 400 kV. At the same time, as Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development Andrei Spinu noted, since the power grids of Moldova and Ukraine were recently synchronized with the European energy network ENTSO-E, it may not be necessary to build a Back-to-Back station, since its presence was a solution for previous situation. According to him, this issue has yet to be discussed in detail by specialists in order to make a final decision. Since the mentioned works will be carried out on lands owned by the state, local state administration and private property of individuals and legal entities, it is necessary to adopt a law on the declaration of the public utility of works of national importance in order to promote the project faster, ensure the expropriation of land plots necessary for construction, payment of compensation etc. The government, on behalf of the state, will start the procedure for acquiring the land required for construction and allocate the necessary financial resources for the development and implementation of the Action Plan for resettlement and compensation for the permanent and temporary expropriation of land plots necessary for the construction and operation of the 400 kV power transmission line Vulcanesti-Chisinau and Back- to-Back in Vulcanesti. So far, the forecast of the total budget for carrying out expropriation procedures related to the project for the entire period of its implementation is estimated as follows: compensation payments to victims - 20 million lei, cadastral services - 12 million lei. // 23.03.2022 — InfoMarket
