As Romania navigates its energy transition, understanding the investment needs in infrastructure, distribution networks, and storage capabilities has become increasingly important.

Will Romania produce more electricity by 2035?

Based on the Romania Energy Strategy 2025-2035 the Romanian installed capacities to produce electricity will almost double by 2035, especially due to greater use of solar and nuclear, but also to the development of significant storage systems using batteries.

Does Romania have a good energy mix?

Romania has managed to maintain a balanced energy mix, with substantial contributions from oil, natural gas, nuclear, and renewables. However, there has been a decline in thermoelectric and hydroelectric capacities, while renewables, especially wind and solar, have seen only modest growth. iron and steel, and paper and pulp.

How can Romania reduce its energy dependence on imports?

As gas will continue to ensure 1/3 of the national electricity generation mix, in the medium run, Romania due to its reserves, could reduce its energy dependence on imports through new production capacities and reduction of demand. Eforts should continue and be speeded up in order to extend the total gas and also electricity storage capacities.

What are the three main energy sectors in Romania?

Data shows that 80% of the contraction came from three main sectors: chemicals and petrochemicals, iron and steel, and paper and pulp3. In the following sections we will analyse the most recent data in relation to the energy sector in Romania.
