For 2015, the authorities estimate a 1.5% increase in domestic consumption.
The figures are exclusive of potential grid losses and of the electricity used by local producers.
Final electricity consumption reached 55.6 TWh in 2013, said Octavian Lohan, board member in state-run power grid operator Transelectrica (TEL.RO).
Excluding grid losses and producers’ consumption needs, final consumption was 50.1 TWh, Lohan told Mediafax.
In the first five months of 2014, Romanian final electricity consumption was 20.9 TWh, down 1.4% year-on-year.
