“We often hear speculations about European money. It’s important to emphasize that, thanks to EU support, we can provide substantial compensations to our citizens,” Recean stated.

The government offers two types of compensation: direct cash payments for heating to registered households and automatic electricity subsidies covering 110 KWh—about 80% of a Moldovan family’s average monthly consumption. All households, regardless of registration, will receive electricity compensation from March through the end of the year.
