Romania has 68 power plants in this atlas, with 14,647 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Turceni power station (1,650 MW, coal; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are solar, coal and hydro. Grid operators listed here include Transelectrica. Electricity is regulated by ANRE. Renewables supplied 46.5% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
Grid operators and electricity market in Romania
Liberalised marketCompetitive generation and retail
Hydro, nuclear (Cernavodă) and coal supply the grid, with fast-growing solar. OPCOM runs the market, coupled with the EU.
Part of the synchronous grid of Continental Europe, the largest interconnected grid in the world by customers, coordinated by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity.
What does “Liberalised market” mean?
Generators sell into a wholesale market, an independent operator runs the transmission grid, and households can choose their electricity supplier. Networks stay regulated monopolies because building parallel power lines makes no sense.
