Rosca said Electrica plans to participate in the privatization of three energy distributors in Moldova, given the high rate of return on the market.

Last year, energy market watchdog ANRE cut the rate of return regulation for electricity distributors from 8.52% to 7.7%. This indicator, which has a direct impact on the profitability of distributors, was modified shortly after the floatation of Electrica with the promise of a certain rate of return.

Electrica SA is owned by the Energy Ministry.
