The state-owned company Transelectrica (BVB: TEL), the operator of the Romanian national energy system, recorded a net profit of RON 183 million in the first nine months of the year, down 56% compared to the same period last year.<\/p>\n
Operating revenues fell by 2%, to RON 1.716 billion, mainly due to the decrease in revenues from transactions covering technological self-consumption (CPT, RON 46 million lower), contingency aid revenues (RON 61 million lower), and revenues from CPT capitalization (RON 48 million lower), in the context of a RON 46 million increase in revenues from interconnection capacity allocation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Operating expenses, on the other hand, increased by 5%, to RON 1.385 billion, due to higher costs for electricity transmission network maintenance, depreciation, personnel, and taxes.<\/p>\n
\u201cChanges introduced by OUG 32\/2024 led to a gradual exit from the support scheme and a return to competitive market mechanisms. As a result, starting January 1, 2025, the energy needed to cover CPT was purchased approximately 50% through bilateral contracts, at an average price higher than the same period in 2024,\u201d Transelectrica noted in its report.<\/p>\n
Romania\u2019s net energy consumption fell by 1% in January\u2013September 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, from 39.5 to 39 TWh, while production decreased by 7%, from 38.2 to 35.4 TWh. The positive difference between Romania\u2019s energy imports and exports increased dramatically, by 180%, from 1.27 to 3.57 TWh.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcept for February (+6.12%), April (+1.12%), and May (+2.13%), which recorded increases, all other months recorded decreases in electricity consumption at the national level, with values between (-1.76%) in January and (-8.96%) in August,\u201d said the transmission and system operator.<\/p>\n
At the end of the January\u2013September 2025 period, energy production from battery storage systems totaled 122.74 GWh, while the value recorded for prosumers was 1,138 GWh.<\/p>\n
