Romania’s energy resources, including imports, totaled 31.014 million TOE in January-November 2025, rising by an annual 4.2%, INS data also show. Imports amounted to 51.4% of the aggregate resources, or 15.926 million TOE, up by an annual 11.4%.
Romania’s own electricity output and imports totaled 63.236 TWh in the review period, up 5% year-on-year. Domestic electricity production alone fell by 3.2% to 46.429 TWh. Thermal power accounted for 33.5% of the total output, hydropower for 23.7%, nuclear power for 21.6%, while wind and solar power had shares of 11.6% and 9.6%, respectively.
Thermal power production amounted to 15.561 TWh in the eleven months through November, falling by 1.1% year-on-year. The hydropower output dropped by 18% on the year to 11.002 TWh, marking the largest decrease across all energy sources.
Electricity generation by Cernavoda, Romania’s sole nuclear power plant, inched up by an annual 1.3% in January-November, to 10.024 TWh.
Wind farms generated some 5.403 TWh of electricity, down by 3.7% year-on-year, while solar plants, including those of prosumers, generated 4.438 TWh, up 33.4%.
Final electricity consumption edged down by an annual 0.7% to 45.653 TWh in the review period. Technological consumption in power plants rose 3.2% to 4.493 TWh.
Romania’s electricity exports increased by 32.8% on the year to 13.091 TWh in the first eleven months of 2025, while imports surged by 37.4% to 16.808 TWh.
