1A1a Main activity electricity and heat production, biomass / 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 uslities) 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 Republic of Moldova electricity generation capacity include: Moldavian Thermal Power Plant (MTPP) in Dnestrovsk (on the left bank of the Dniester River) with an installed capacity of 2520
MW; CHP-2 Chisinau, with an installed capacity of 240 MW and 1200 Gcalh heat capacity: CHP-1 Chisinau, with an installed capacity of 66 MW and 239 Gcal/h heat capacity; CHP-North Balti,
with an installed capacity of 37 MW and 350 Gcal/h heat capacity, other power plants, including CHP owned by sugar plants operating on natural gas and residual fuel oil, built during 1966-1961.
In recent years, renewable energy sources of small power are being developed. Their total capacity in 2019 represented 41.8 MW. In the RM, within 1990-2019, the share of biofuels from total fuel
consumption within category 1A1a increased from 0.02 per cent to 0.24 per cent of the total (biofuels consumption recorded a significant growth, in particular between 2000 and 2014, from circa
59 TJ to 472 TJ). Within the current inventory cycle, GHG emission under the Sector 1 Energy were estimated separately for the RBDR (Right Bank of Dniester River) and LBDR
