43.2km-long Ungheni-Iasi interconnection project represents the first and only direct gas pipeline connecting Moldova with the European Union (EU) It has a maximum transportation capacity of 1.5 billion cubic metres (bcm) of gas a year The interconnector was built via an investment of €26m ($27.6m) and currently transports gas from Romania The gas is being supplied by OMV Petrom (Romania) a subsidiary of the Austrian oil and gas group OMV A memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the pipeline extension development was signed by the Prime Ministers of Moldova and Romania in May 2015 The extended pipeline will transport the gas received from Romania to Moldova’s capital city Chisinau which is also the country’s biggest gas consumption area It is expected to enable Moldova to benefit from the interconnection project by improving its energy security A joint venture between Transgaz and Eurotransgaz named VestMoldTransgaz (VMTG) is responsible for developing the project on behalf of the Government of Moldova The gas transmission pipeline will cost an estimated €113m (approximately $120m) and is anticipated to be commissioned by December 2019 The new pipeline will have a diameter of 600mm and a capacity of 1.5bcm of gas a year It is anticipated to possess a maximum capacity of 240,000Nm³/h at 15°C a maximum working pressure of 50bar and a project pressure of 55bar the pipeline is expected to include a 50m-wide safety strip or right of way (ROW) The pipeline will have a design life of 25 years which will be enabled by cathodic protection based on an impressed current system Its design life could potentially be extended to 40 years through the partial replacement of the system including its ground bed and power supplies The pipeline will be internally lined with an epoxy lining to improve the flow properties and prevent corrosion during storage and operation It is expected to have an internal surface roughness of approximately 0.05mm valves and fittings will be coated with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyurethane (PU) coating system in order to protect against external corrosion pipeline block valves and other buried fittings will also be coated with PU The natural gas pipeline project will comprise five block valve stations occupying a fenced area of 100m² each along with two gas pressure regulation stations three pig launcher stations and three pig receiver stations Additionally, two new compressor stations of 5MW and 6MW respectively will be constructed to enable the full use of the Ungheni-Iasi interconnection project as well as regulate the pressure inside the pipeline a high-pressure pipeline is proposed to be constructed from Onesti to Gheraiesti and extending up to Letcani which will allow the Ungheni-Chisinau pipeline to operate at full capacity The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and European Investment Bank will provide sovereign loans of €41m ($45m) each to the Government of Moldova while the EU has agreed to provide an additional €10m ($11m) investment grant The Romanian Government will also provide a grant of €550,000 ($600,285) to Moldova for detailed engineering works in support of the gas pipeline’s construction A land planning institute known as the State Institute for Land Management Planning (IPOT) conducted a study to identify the reference routes for the pipeline EBRD appointed

Russia’s invasion on 24 February According to Moldova’s Bureau for Migration and Asylum over 1,600 Ukrainians had requested asylum as of 10 March The first days of March saw temperatures of -3⁰C in Moldova Among those arriving at the Sculeni border were Nadejda “We were living in fear every day under the sound of sirens and bombing,” recalls Nadejda We decided to move in with our relatives in Vinnytsia [central-western Ukraine] … We lived in the basement most of the time.” When eight Russian missiles hit Vinnytsia and completely destroyed the town’s airport on 6 March Nadejda and Ina had already moved on to Moldova accompanied by Ina’s father and 7-year-old daughter Nadejda and her husband grabbed some clothes and Ina took her daughter’s favourite toy My daughter and I couldn’t resist any more Our friends stayed in Kharkiv and are still hiding in the basement Their children have high fevers and they are helpless,” says Ina The family reached the Sculeni border crossing between the Republic of Moldova and Romania where refugees are welcomed by a group of volunteers from Junior Chamber International (JCI) Ungheni they provide shelter to all those who cross the border Those who are in a hurry receive sandwiches and move on Nadejda and Ina’s family were able to rest in a warm place and get help finding transportation to Romania “All we want is to reach my [other] daughter in Ireland,” says Nadejda “I never thought I would live through this My daughter-in-law stayed in Ukraine together with my son She decided to stay behind with their baby.” Thousands of families cross the border at Sculeni daily says Polina: “I am terrified of what is happening in our town But we stay optimistic and hope for a peaceful future.” known as the City of Heroes for its defence against the Nazis in 1941 I want this to end so we can live in peace My husband is a police officer and stayed behind to fight They stay behind to defend the home,” adds Ludmila the queue of cars waiting to enter Romania keeps growing the border police are the first to welcome the people from Ukraine Many of the officers are women: according to the General Border Police Inspectorate (IGPF) and women account for 30 per cent of all border police officers The Border Police have been on duty since the first day “I am both emotional and happy that I can help it is difficult to see children fleeing from their homes This is our mission: to help and ensure the border security of the Republic of Moldova,” says one of the police officers JCI Ungheni volunteer Veronica Gârbu has been involved from the beginning of the crisis I have relatives in Ukraine who could not come to Moldova so I decided to support them somehow or at least to help the people who come from that side I prepare parcels and provide all the support I can I cried a lot on the first days as I listened volunteers communicate intensively with local public authorities and border service agents to coordinate the flow of refugees and share responsibilities “Our help is essential in this situation and their grateful eyes are the best reward for us,” says Gârbu “If there was a cause to dedicate all our efforts sandwiches and hot drinks and distributes these to those in a hurry: “I worked 10 hours yesterday; today we prepare food takeaways so they can eat on their way.” As a mother with four children reaches the border crossing the volunteers ask: “Where are you going?”; “Do you need transport?”; “How can we help?” The tent is stocked with water Vera is a 50-year-old single mother from Kyiv: “We hid for six days in the basement the sirens were on three to four times a day When the bombs started to fall closer to their house Vera found a way to flee: “We left at 7 in the morning because we had to stay in line for three days at the railway station I was surprised by people’s kindness; volunteers gave us food hot drinks and provided us with winter clothes I don’t have panic attacks or nervous breakdowns Vera and her four

differentiated impact this conflict is having on women and men and persons from vulnerable groups Donate Donate by its subsidiary of the Republic of Moldova and dispatches the gas transmission pipeline Ungheni-Chisinau and is certified according to the ownership unbundling model gas transmission and dispatching activities in the Republic of Moldova from Moldovatransgaz SRL Vestmoldtransgaz signed the contract on the lease of the gas transmission networks of this country under which it will take over gas transmission and dispatching activities in the Republic of Moldova from the operator Moldovatransgaz SRL – a contract that was approved by the Energy Regulatory Authority of the Republic of Moldova The designation of VMTG as sole operator of the gas transmission system of the Republic of Moldova is the consequence of Moldovatransgaz’ failure to meet the unbundling and certification requirements according to the Third EU Energy Package of Directive 2009/72/EC concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and of Law 108/27.05.2016 Transgaz’ Director General Ion Sterian stated: “By taking over the operation gas transmission and dispatching activities from Moldovatransgaz Vestmoldtransgaz will manage the entire gas infrastructure of the Republic of Moldova The investments Transgaz made on the territory of Romania the NTS developments in the North-Eastern part of the country: the Gas Pipeline Onesti-Gheraesti-Letcani the upgrading of the compressor stations Silistea and Onesti 2 the construction of the compressor stations Onesti 1 and Gheraesti the Interconnection Iasi-Ungheni are strategic investments amounting to approximately EUR 430 million These investments have created the conditions for diversifying the sources and routes of natural gas supply increasing the degree of security of natural gas supply for this winter and for the coming years as well as the possibility of extending the NTS of Moldova in order to connect households and industrial consumers that do not yet have access to these resources to the gas distribution networks to be developed later Vestmoldtransgaz is planning to re-update the 10-Year NTS Development Plan which will be published on the company’s website as soon as possible Transgaz achieves growing international recognition and boosts the confidence of our investors who are investors in a Romanian multinational company in the energy sector I trust Transgaz’ and Vestmoldtransgaz’ teams and I am confident that the good practices that have turned our company into a leading company in Romania will be rapidly adopted and put in place in the Republic of Moldova thus contributing to the increase in this country’s energy security.” More energy security for the Republic of Moldova The takeover of gas transmission networks by Transgaz will mean more energy security for the Republic of Moldova “The pace of connecting household and industrial consumers will accelerate,” he added It is the first important step in the process of European integration the general manager of Transgaz Romania told Radio Chisinau “By taking over the operation of the gas networks of the Republic of Moldova the first step in the European integration process has been taken The electricity transmission part is the second step while in terms of power transmission work is being done to increase capacity; in terms of roads The European Commission strongly supports the Government and the Republic of Moldova I want all negotiating chapters to be opened as soon as possible and the Republic of Moldova to become part of the European Union,” Ion Sterian stated the general manager of Transgaz Romania wanted to assure all citizens of the Republic of Moldova that the takeover of gas transmission networks will mean more energy security for the entire country “Nothing bad will happen by taking over the operation of the National Transmission System of the Republic of Moldova it will accelerate the pace of connection of localities to gas for both household and industrial consumers it will increase the security of gas supply for next winter and for the years to come.” operates the Iasi – Ungheni – Chisinau gas pipeline which has become the most strategic energy infrastructure objective of the Republic of Moldova in the context of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine The takeover of gas transmission operations in the Republic of Moldova is an important step in securing the state’s energy security and eliminating one of the biggest impediments in the implementation of the European gas directive and considerably reducing dependence on a single supplier
