Cuciurgan power station

Administrative-Territorial Units of the Left Bank of the Dniester, Moldova

The 253rd largest power station in the world

2.52 GW · Capacity

The gas-fired Cuciurgan power station (Moldovskaya GRES), the largest power station in Moldova, is in Transnistria, on the shores of the Cuciurgan Reservoir bordering Ukraine. In 2024 it generated over three quarters of Moldova's electricity. Commissioned in 1964, it formerly burned some coal and fuel oil. In 2025, Russia stopped supplying the power plant with gas, leading to the 2025 Moldovan energy crisis.
