Moldova inaugurated on Sunday the 157-km Vulcănești–Chișinău high-voltage line, opening a new electricity route from Romania, a 400-kV line connecting Vulcănești in the south to Chișinău without passing through the Cuciurgan hub on the left bank of the Dniester.

The project cost about 61 million euros, and President Maia Sandu said no one will be able to cut off the country’s electricity or heat anymore.
