It is clear proof that more and more Romanians are choosing to no longer be just energy consumers, but also producers,&#8221; Niculescu said.<\/p>\n<p>The expansion is increasing pressure on electricity distribution networks, which must adapt to the accelerating deployment of distributed generation, according to the regulator.<\/p>\n<p>Storage capacity is also growing rapidly. ANRE data show that 101,243 prosumers had battery systems installed by the end of April, after more than 10,000 new battery-equipped prosumers were added during the month.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our role, as a regulator, is to maintain stable and predictable rules so that this transformation continues. And as energy communities begin to come to life, I expect the growth rate of prosumers to accelerate even more,&#8221; Niculescu said.<\/p>\n<p>According to the latest ANRE figures, the installed capacity of prosumers has surpassed that of utility-scale dispatchable photovoltaic parks in Romania, where around 3,300 MW of capacity has been installed.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamstime.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Apiwat Rengrew\/ Dreamstime<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>iulian@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Romania had 332,684 prosumers connected to the electricity grid as of April 30, with a combined installed capacity of 3,789 MW, according to data published by energy regulator ANRE and cited by Economica.
