Romania energy storage power price

Meanwhile, the transport sector's energy use has increased, highlighting areas for potential energy eficiency improvements. Energy prices, especially for electricity, have surged dramatically, placing Romania among the EU's highest, largely due to supply constraints and geopolitical factors.

IX. The energy sector is a critical component of Romania's economy, underpinning the country's in-dustrial growth, domestic needs, and overall economic stability. As Romania navigates its energy transition, understanding the investment needs in infrastructure, distribution networks, and storage capabilities has become increasingly important.

In Romania, the increase shows a more dramatic escalation. Starting at 0.1333 €/kWh in the first half of 2018, the price more than tripled after the start of 2021, reaching 0.4199 €/kWh by the first half of 2023. The increase is even higher for non-household consumers.

It will con-sider the challenges faced by the distribution network, as well as exploring the emerging role of energy storage. For electricity, according to the Romanian new Energy Strategy 2025-2035, the installed capacity will rise steadily until 2030, reaching 30409 MW – with a perspective of 63000 MW in 2050.

III. Romania has had a balanced energy capacity structure with a diversified source of energy supply in the last decade. At the end of 2022, in the total supply of energy, the most important contribution was from oil and petroleum products (33%) and natural gas (26.4%), while solid fossil fuels repre-sented 11%.

In Romania, the amount of gas in storage has fallen to 63% in just one and a half months, with more than a third of the gas in storage being consumed, a steeper fall than the European average, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe. On January 8, 2025, the filling rate of storage facilities in Romania was 61.74%.
