While domestic energy production declined by 𝟮.𝟲%, renewable electricity generation increased significantly.

Solar led the growth:

☀️ Solar: 𝟯.𝟮𝟱𝟵 𝗧𝗪𝗵, up 𝟰𝟮.𝟭%
💧 Hydro: 𝟳.𝟰𝟴𝟵 𝗧𝗪𝗵, up 𝟭𝟳.𝟵%
🌬️ Wind: 𝟯.𝟮𝟳𝟯 𝗧𝗪𝗵, up 𝟵%

Meanwhile, thermal generation fell by 𝟱.𝟵% and nuclear production by 𝟭𝟭.𝟳%.

Solar’s rapid growth follows the addition of around 𝟮,𝟮𝟬𝟬 𝗠𝗪 of photovoltaic capacity in 2025, including approximately 𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗠𝗪 from prosumers.

Electricity consumption also declined, with final consumption down 𝟯.𝟯% and household consumption down 𝟭𝟭.𝟴%. The rapid growth of prosumers likely contributed to this decline, with installed capacity rising from around 𝟴𝟱 𝗠𝗪 at the end of 2021 to more than 𝟯,𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗠𝗪 by early 2026.

The numbers show a Romanian power system that is gradually shifting toward a larger renewable contribution, even as overall production and consumption patterns continue to change.

When Romanian electricity is cheaper, part of that advantage can reach Bulgaria through cross-border trade.

But the connection between the two markets is not unlimited.

For 2026, the Romania-Bulgaria border has a minimum cross-border capacity trajectory of around 𝟮,𝟱𝟱𝟬 𝗠𝗪.

As long as enough capacity is available, electricity can continue flowing toward the higher-priced market. Once the interconnection becomes congested, additional cheap Romanian electricity cannot fully reach Bulgaria and the two prices can begin to separate.

As Romania adds more solar and other renewable generation, this becomes increasingly important. More low-cost electricity only benefits neighbouring markets if the grid has enough capacity to carry it across the border.

Bulgaria is likely to continue benefiting from lower-priced Romanian electricity, but toward the end of the decade the ability of the grid to keep pace with Romania’s renewable growth could become increasingly important.

Historically low Danube levels have put pressure on Romania's electricity system this summer, affecting hydropower production and creating constraints for Cernavodă.

At the same time, average OPCOM Day-Ahead Market prices during the first ten days of each summer month increased:

June: 𝟱𝟲𝟳.𝟬𝟬 𝗹𝗲𝗶/𝗠𝗪𝗵 (€108.20/MWh)
July: 𝟲𝟯𝟳.𝟮𝟵 𝗹𝗲𝗶/𝗠𝗪𝗵 (€121.62/MWh)
August: 𝟳𝟴𝟱.𝟱𝟵 𝗹𝗲𝗶/𝗠𝗪𝗵 (€149.92/MWh)

The increase cannot be attributed to the Danube crisis alone, but reduced generation availability has played a role in tightening Romania's power balance.

For solar producers, this can have an important side effect.

When strong solar production meets high generation elsewhere in the system, midday prices can fall toward zero or even become negative. At 0 lei/MWh, electricity can still be sold, but there is little economic incentive to inject additional production.

𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚.

Romanian Day-Ahead Market prices from 2021 to 2025 show a clear change between hot and cold periods.

In 2021–2023, the difference was limited or even favoured colder months. From 2024, a much stronger seasonal divergence appeared.

For a 2-hour battery, average daily spreads reached:

2024: 1,065.08 lei/MWh (€214/MWh) hot vs 639.74 lei/MWh (€129/MWh) cold
2025: 869.83 lei/MWh (€175/MWh) hot vs 652.03 lei/MWh (€131/MWh) cold

For 4-hour storage:

2024: 867.08 lei/MWh (€174/MWh) hot vs 541.72 lei/MWh (€109/MWh) cold
2025: 729.13 lei/MWh (€147/MWh) hot vs 568.14 lei/MWh (€114/MWh) cold

This is where seasonal cannibalization becomes relevant. Stronger solar production during sunnier periods can push prices lower during solar hours, reducing the value captured by solar while creating wider price differences that batteries can use for arbitrage.

That creates an interesting seasonal relationship.

In colder periods, batteries have capacity available, but lower solar generation and narrower spreads can leave fewer opportunities to use it. In sunnier periods, abundant solar creates stronger storage opportunities, but more batteries are needed to shift that energy toward higher-value hours.

Batteries need solar, and solar increasingly needs batteries.

High temperatures can also affect battery performance when thermal limits are reached, adding another consideration during the warmer months.

As Romania adds more solar and storage, the relationship between the two will become increasingly important.

𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨.

Between 2018 and 2025, coal capacity fell from 5,920 MW to 2,520 MW, while renewable capacity more than doubled, increasing from 4,420 MW to 9,520 MW.

Coal generation also declined from 15.65 TWh to 7.56 TWh, while renewable generation increased from 8.09 TWh to 10.84 TWh.

Installed capacity and electricity generation do not grow at the same pace. Adding renewable capacity does not translate into the same increase in electricity generation, as each technology contributes differently to the power system.

The shift is visible not only in generation, but also in consumption. Romania consumed less electricity in 2025 than in 2018, falling from 61.53 TWh to 53.60 TWh. The transition is therefore not only about replacing coal with renewables, but also about changing electricity demand.

The numbers show how Romania's electricity mix continues to evolve, bringing new opportunities while increasing the importance of flexibility, storage and system balancing.

NIBIRU, a Romanian festival on the Black Sea coast, can temporarily change where electricity is consumed.

As visitors arrive, demand shifts toward accommodation, cooling, restaurants, event infrastructure and local transport, concentrating energy use in one region.

Travel and temporary infrastructure also add to the wider carbon footprint.

For the regional power system, the impact is shaped by both the volume of consumption and where and when it appears.

People change location, and their energy footprint follows.

The platform will bring together operational and planned projects, providing information on their location, capacity, land area, associated crops and technology.

Agrivoltaics allows agricultural activity and solar electricity generation to share the same land.

The map is expected to improve transparency, support planning and make project data more accessible to farmers, developers, authorities and investors.

Spain’s experience could provide a useful reference for Romania and support the development of similar initiatives adapted to the local agricultural sector.

For a major agricultural country like Romania, agrivoltaics and on-site electricity consumption could lower energy inputs and production costs. This could support more affordable products for consumers and stronger margins for farmers and agricultural businesses.

According to Eurostat, energy use for space cooling in EU households reached 𝟖𝟎.𝟒 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐉 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, almost double the 𝟒𝟎.𝟓 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐉 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟖. This translates into approximately 𝟐𝟐,𝟑𝟑𝟑 𝐆𝐖𝐡/𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, only for cooling purposes.

This is not only a household consumption trend but also a shift at the power system level.

As temperatures rise and heatwaves become more frequent, electricity demand is increasingly influenced by cooling needs. Warmer periods can push demand higher during daytime and evening hours, especially when air conditioning use becomes more widespread.

The same pattern can appear in winter. Colder periods can also reshape demand when electric heating, heat pumps or auxiliary heating are used more.
