Romania's electricity grid combines a balanced mix of nuclear (Cernavodă, ~20% of supply), hydro (~25%), gas (~15%), coal (~12%) and rapidly-growing wind and solar (~25% combined). Transelectrica operates the RO bidding zone synchronously coupled to Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia and Ukraine, with the Bucharest-area OPCOM running day-ahead trading. The Cernavodă plant's two CANDU reactors will be joined by a third and fourth unit currently under refurbishment-and-newbuild contracts with EDF, AECL and Korea's KHNP — first concrete on Cernavodă-3 is targeted for 2026.

Romania is uniquely positioned among EU members to host SMRs: the first US-designed NuScale modular reactors are planned for the Doicești coal-plant site, with commercial operation in 2030. Coal phaseout follows a court-mediated 2032 deadline.

The Iron Gates 1 hydropower complex on the Danube — co-owned with Serbia at 1 100 MW each — remains one of Europe's largest run-of-river plants.

Historical electricity prices

FAQ — Romania

How is the electricity price determined?
Day-ahead prices in Romania are auctioned each morning around 14:00 EEST on Nord Pool / EPEX. The cheapest mix of generation that meets demand wins; that price applies for the next 24 hours.
When is electricity cheapest?
Today's average wholesale price in Romania is 1.022 lei /kWh. Cheapest hours typically fall between 00:00–04:00 EEST and around midday on sunny / windy days.
Why is my electricity bill higher than the spot price?
The wholesale spot price you see here is one component. Your retail bill in Romania also adds electricity tax, grid fees, VAT and a supplier markup — total roughly 30–60 % above wholesale.
How accurate is this data?
Source: ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, the EU regulator's data feed. Updated every 10–20 minutes.
Are tomorrow's prices already known?
Tomorrow's day-ahead prices for Romania appear on this page automatically once Nord Pool / EPEX closes the auction around 14:00 EEST each day.
