Improving energy efficiency and security of supply by developing intelligent energy distribution, storage and transmission systems and integrating decentralisation of renewable energy production. The project will contribute to the achievement of the national strategy for the development, consolidation and operationalisation of transphony connections, to increase energy efficiency, to complementarity with other actions circumscribed by the Thematic Objective (TO) 4 “Supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy in all sectors” and TO 7 “Promoting sustainable transport systems and removing bottlenecks in major network infrastructures”, aiming at “Improving energy efficiency and security of supply through the development of intelligent energy distribution, storage and transport systems and by integrating the decentralisation of renewable energy production”, which is the priority of selected investments (7e). TO 7e will be in synergy with the priorities proposed under the Connecting Europe Facility, which is a mechanism that provides for accelerating investment in trans-European networks to improve accessibility in the EU internal market and boost economic growth. The investment project is a public utility of national and European interest. On the national level, the project ensures the increase of the capacity of the NES to take over the energy produced from renewable resources by integrating RES production from new plants installed in Dobrogea and Moldova, aimed at increasing the level of security in the supply of consumers in the area of Moldova and eliminating congestion in the TER. The project will allow the transport of energy produced in the Black Sea area to the consumption and storage centers in the rest of the country and then to Central-Rise Europe. The project complies with Reg.1222/2015/EU on capacity allocation and congestion management,1719/2016/EU on capacity allocation in the long-term market and 2195/2017/EU on guidelines on balancing the en.el system.It will allow the elimination of isolation and congestion in the main directions of power flows between production centres in the east of the country and demand and storage centres in the west, will ensure sustainability by integrating renewable energy production into the transmission grid, increasing security of supply, reliability and interoperability of the network in the region and removing major bottlenecks, developing a competitive regional electricity market in South East Europe as a first step in the implementation of the single electricity market in Europe, optimising balancing energy at regional level, increasing operational security, optimising regional resources, including reducing emissions through coordinated use of renewable energy at the level of renewable energy
