During the “SMART Technologies for Innovation” Summit, held in Bălți, the panel “Pilot Projects in Energy Resource Management” brought together leading experts and companies to showcase cutting-edge digital solutions for a more efficient and sustainable energy future. The session was moderated by Mihail Stratan, President of the Employers’ Association of Renewable Energy Producers “ECOEnergetica.”

Denis Roibu, European Energy Manager of the Municipality of Bălți, and Maxim Purice, IT developer, presented Fluxora, a digital platform for intelligent monitoring and optimization of energy consumption in municipal buildings, powered by artificial intelligence. The platform integrates data on electricity, heating, domestic hot water, and ventilation, using predictive analytics to generate automated recommendations for reducing losses and improving efficiency.

The speakers illustrated the system’s functionality through a case study at the “Dimitrie Cantemir” Theoretical Lyceum in Bălți, where a comprehensive energy rehabilitation project was implemented with European funding.

Dr. Eng. Emil Iakaboș, an energy consultant and expert from Romania, presented a trigeneration model based on a natural gas–hydrogen mix (20%), capable of producing electricity, heat, and cooling simultaneously. This innovative system reduces emissions while enhancing energy efficiency.
Dr. Iakaboș emphasized that hydrogen-based trigeneration aligns perfectly with European strategies for decarbonization and energy efficiency, and can be effectively applied to public buildings, hospitals, logistics centers, and industrial parks.

Representing QGroup Holding, Cătălin Guțu, Project Manager, introduced the BESS – Battery Energy Storage System, a solution that enhances grid stability and enables more efficient use of renewable energy. QGroup also presented its 30 MW pilot project in Ștefan Vodă, demonstrating how hybrid PCS + BESS systems (60 MWh) can provide energy stability, reduce transmission losses, and increase profitability through integration into energy markets.

The panel highlighted the critical importance of collaboration among public authorities, businesses, and research institutions to accelerate Moldova’s energy transition.
The presentations clearly demonstrated that the Republic of Moldova already hosts concrete, scalable initiatives that can transform the way energy resources are produced, distributed, and consumed — from digital monitoring and trigeneration to smart storage systems.

The “SMART Technologies for Innovation” Summit was organized by the Association for the Development of Electronic Communications and Innovative Technologies (ACETI), in partnership with the Municipality of Bălți, the Employers’ Association of Renewable Energy Producers “ECOEnergetica,” and the Association for Regional Development and European Policies (ADRPE), on October 23–24, 2025.

The event was held as part of the ACETI 4 EDIE project, implemented with the support of the Innovate Moldova Program, funded by Sweden.
