Moldova's bid to expand its renewable resources received a boost after Chinese company MCC International Incorporation said it would construct the Eastern European nation's first large-scale solar park. Work is set to begin late this year or early 2019, according to Moldova's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration. In March 2017, the government introduced new laws, offering dispatch priority for renewables and introducing net metering for renewable energy power stations with up to 100 kW capacity. The country has also been working on developing an offshore wind farm in order to meet growing demand from neighboring countries.
