Romania's energy sector is characterized by a diverse mix of sources. A significant portion of its electricity generation stems from hydroelectric power, coal, and nuclear energy. The country has a notable capacity for hydroelectric energy, thanks to its geographic features, particularly the Carpathian Mountains and the Danube River.
Coal, despite environmental concerns, remains a key component in Romania's energy mix. The country also relies on nuclear power, with the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant being a major contributor. This diversification helps in maintaining a stable electricity supply.
The primary source of energy in Romania is hydroelectric power. The country's topography and river systems provide conducive conditions for hydroelectric plants. These plants not only supply a significant portion of the national electricity demand but also play a crucial role in ensuring energy security.
Moreover, hydroelectric power is a renewable and cleaner source of energy compared to fossil fuels, aligning with the broader European Union goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable energy sources.
Romania is an integral part of the European Union's electricity market. This integration allows for cross-border electricity trading, enhancing energy security and market efficiency within the region. Romania's connection to the EU electricity grid facilitates both import and export of electricity, depending on domestic demand and production levels.
Furthermore, Romania's interconnectivity with neighboring countries, like Hungary, Bulgaria, and Ukraine, plays a significant role in regional energy cooperation. This interconnectedness not only supports Romania's energy needs but also contributes to the stabilization and integration of the broader European electricity market.
Looking forward, Romania faces challenges in modernizing its energy infrastructure and increasing the share of renewable energy in its mix. The country is working towards aligning with the EU's climate goals, which include reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the use of renewable energy sources.
Investments in renewable energy technologies, such as wind and solar power, are expected to grow. These developments are crucial for Romania's long-term energy sustainability and its commitments under the European Green Deal. The modernization of its energy infrastructure will also be pivotal in enhancing the efficiency and reliability of electricity supply in the country.
Lighting is not the thing that uses the most electricity, but it can still be a good investment to switch to energy-efficient and LED lights. These provide up to 10x more light with the same amount of energy.
Heating is one of the things that consumes the most electricity in a typical home. You save about 5% of the costs for heating for every degree you lower the interior temperature.
Most electricity companies in Europe buy electricity on a common market place, such as Nord Pool. All power plants that produce electricity and electricity companies that supply electricity to homes and businesses meet there. Based on supply and demand, prices are set for each hour and each area, one day in advance. Some countries, such as Norway, are divided into several different price areas, each of which has its own spot price.
All prices are current open market spot prices in the day-ahead segment without local vat, tax or other additions.
