Romania’s electricity imports exceeded the 3,000 MW threshold for the second consecutive day on December 5, close to the maximum capacity of the cross-border transmission network.
This is partly due to the fact that renewable energy production is almost non-existent, Profit.ro reported.
Another reason for these huge imports is that some [renewable energy] producers prefer to intentionally reduce operations in order not to pay too much on the balancing market [in case they fail to deliver the promised amounts], argue representatives of the Romanian Energy Suppliers Association (AFEER).
