Use energy smartly!

The consumption points where smart meters will be installed under the pilot project were selected through a transparent process, ensuring national-level representativeness. Selection criteria included geographic location, population density, electricity consumption, available electrical infrastructure, and energy vulnerability.

Following the definition of the selection criteria, two sampling methods were applied. In the case of stratified sampling, the population was divided into distinct groups based on the mentioned criteria. For random sampling, the actual selection of consumption points was performed randomly through multiple iterations within each group.

After the sample was established, the Chi-squared test was applied—a statistical tool used to verify whether the distribution of the sample accurately reflects the characteristics of the general population.

If your household has been selected to be equipped with a smart meter, you will receive an official notification from the distribution system operator by phone or email.
The notification will include information about the installation date and the benefits of the project.

A representative of the distribution operator will install the smart meter at your residence.
The installation is simple, quick, and will not cause significant interruptions to the electricity supply.

No. The installation of the smart meter under the pilot project is free of charge.
All costs are covered by the Government of Italy, through UNDP Moldova.

To achieve savings and benefit from time-of-use pricing, you need to analyze your energy consumption behavior.
If it is not possible to use high-consumption appliances during the time intervals when the lowest tariff applies, switching to time-of-use pricing may not be cost-effective.
