Highlights
- Romania targets around 31% of renewables in its final energy consumption in 2030.
- Most power generation is 100% state-owned.
- Romgaz and OMV Petrom account for more than 90% of the gas production and dominate the wholesale market.
- Production covers 76% of the gas consumption and around 94% of lignite consumption (2021).
- Wind and solar capacities have barely increased since 2015.
- Energy prices remain below the EU averages, despite significant increases in recent years.
- Total energy consumption increased by 5% in 2021.
- The energy intensity is decreasing rapidly (twice the EU pace).
- The country is counting on new oil and gas fields, as well as new power and gas interconnections to improve its supply.
- A new nuclear unit could be commissioned in Cernavoda in 2031.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The energy sector falls under the responsibility of the Ministry of Energy.
ANRE, the Romanian National Energy Regulatory Authority, regulates the electricity and gas sectors. Since 2010, it is also in charge of energy efficiency policies.
Energy Companies
Gas:
According to Transgaz, gas consumption should increase by 1%/year between 2020 and 2030. Production should increase by 11%/year between 2021 and 2025 thanks to new gas projects coming on stream in the Black Sea, but should decline afterwards (-4.7%/year until 2030).
Energy Supply
Gas:
Gas production has been decreasing since 2017, reaching 8.8 bcm in 2021 (-4.5%/year). It had remained roughly stable at around 10-11 bcm between 2010 and 2017 at around 11 bcm and decreased by 21% between 2000 (14 bcm) and 2010. Production covered 76% of consumption in 2021.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
In February 2022, the Government decided to extend the existing cap on electricity and gas prices for households and small enterprises, which was due to expire in March, for another year.
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita is about 1.8 toe (2021), which is 36% below the EU average, and electricity consumption amounts to 2 620 kWh/cap (51% below the EU average).
Total energy consumption increased by 5% in 2021, reaching 34 Mtoe. It decreased by 2%/year between 2018 and 2020, after an increase over 2014- 2018 (1.5%/year).
Issues & Prospects
To boost its production, the country is increasingly opening up to foreign companies. Romania is a net energy importer (net imports covered 32% of its total consumption in 2021) and the Government aims to reverse that dependence.
