The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.
Highlights
- Romania targets 31% of renewables in its final energy consumption in 2030.
- Most power generation is 100% state-owned.
- Romgaz and OMV Petrom account for 90% of the gas production and dominate the wholesale market.
- Production covers 90% of the gas consumption and 93% of lignite consumption (2022).
- CO2-free sources represented 63% of the power mix in 2022. Wind and solar capacities have barely increased since 2015.
- Electricity and gas prices have surged in 2022 for industry, as have gas prices for households despite the introduction of a price cap.
- Total energy consumption decreased by 5.6% in 2022, in a context of surging energy prices.
- The energy intensity is decreasing rapidly (twice the EU pace).
- OMV Petrom and Romgaz plan to start producing gas from the 100 bcm Neptun Deep gas field in 2027.
- Two new nuclear units could be commissioned in Cernavoda by 2031.
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 decline until 2030, stabilise until 2040 and decline again until 2050, as new nuclear and renewable capacities should reduce gas demand. Gas production should increase by 1.6%/year between 2022 and 2031 thanks to the Neptun Deep gas project coming on stream in the Black Sea.
Energy Supply
Gas:
Gas production increased by 2.5% in 2022 to 9.2 bcm with new fields coming on stream (Black Sea Oil and Gas's Ana and Doina fields in the Midia gas development (MGD) in June 2022). It decreased by 2.3%/year between 2000 and 2010, remained stable at around 11 bcm/year until 2017, and then fell by 4%/year between 2017 and 2020 (-16% in 2020).
Energy Prices
Gas:
The cap on gas prices (RON 0.31/kWh or €6.3c/kWh for households and RON 0.37/kWh or €7.5c/kWh for small businesses consuming less than 50 GWh/year), enacted in November 2021, was extended several times until March 2025. Despite this cap, end-user gas prices surged in 2022 (+237% for industry -not covered by the scheme- and +135%, for households).
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita is about 1.7 toe (2022), which is 42% below the EU average, and electricity consumption amounts to 2 400 kWh/cap (57% below the EU average).
Total energy consumption decreased by 5.6% in 2022, reaching 32 Mtoe, after a 6.2% rebound in 2021. It decreased by 1.9%/year between 2018 and 2020, after a 1.5%/year increase over 2014-2018.
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 2022) and the Government aims to reverse that dependence.
