Chisinau, 29 Jan. /MOLDPRES/- The laboratories of the Faculty of Energetics and Electrical Engineering of the Technical University of Moldova (UTM) were provided with modern equipment worth 542 thousand dollars, with the support of USAID and British Embassy, as part of Moldova Energy Security Activity (MESA).

The equipment will be used to set up one of the most modern energy engineering laboratories in the country, where young engineers will be able to gain hands-on skills in new areas such as renewable energy, electricity storage and electric transport.
