1A1a Main activity electricity and heat production, gaseous fuels/CH, NO
No
Sum of emissions from main activity producers of electricity generation, combined heat and power generation, and heat plants. Main activity producers (formerly known as public uffifies) are defined as those
undertakings whose primary activity is to supply the public. They may be in public or private ownership. Emissions from own on-site use of fuel should be included. Emissions from autoproducers should be
assigned to the sector where they were generated and not under 1A1a.
In the RM electricity generation capacity include: Moldavian Thermal Power Plant (MTPP) in Dnestrovsk (on the left bank of the Dniester River) with an installed capacity of 2,520 MW, CHP-2 Chisinau, with
an installed capacity of 240 MW and 1,200 Gcalh heat capacity: CHP-1 Chisinau, with an installed capacity of 66 MW and 254 Gcalh heat capacity, CHP-North Bati, with an installed capacity of 24 MW and
200 Gcal/h heat capacity: other power plants, including CHP owned by sugar plants with an installed capacity of 97.5 MW operating on natural gas and residual fuel oil, built during 1956-1981. In recent years,
renewable energy sources of small power are being developed. Their total capacity in 2015 represented 5 MW of electric power, while in 2016-circa 6.9 MW. In the RM, within 1990-2016, the share of gaseous
fuels (natural gases) from total fuel consumption within category 1A1a increased from 44.4 per cent to 97.6 per cent. In 2016 was made the transition from an average NCV to an annual average NCV for natural
gases, based on the information provided by 'Moldovagaz'. Within the current inventory cycle
