Locally generated electricity accounted for 21.64 per cent of total purchases in August. Of this amount, approximately 20.3 per cent was supplied by renewable energy parks and power stations, whilst 1.35 per cent came from CET-Nord and Termoelectrica.
The remainder of the demand was met by imports, which accounted for 78.36 per cent of total purchases. Of this amount, 72.47 per cent was supplied under bilateral contracts concluded with suppliers and producers from Romania and Ukraine, whilst 5.89 per cent was purchased on the ‘day-ahead’ (DAM) market via the OPCOM and Romanian Commodities Exchange (BRM) platforms.
The procurement costs stated do not include taxes or expenses relating to transport, capacity booking and other logistical costs.
Furthermore, with effect from 1 July 2026, following the implementation of the Decision approving the Electricity Market Rules, purchases made by suppliers with public service obligations are carried out through competitive mechanisms, including the Organised Market for Bilateral Contracts, the ‘day-ahead’ market and the intraday market.
Consequently, under the new market conditions, Energocom purchases little energy generated during the day and focuses on purchasing energy during peak hours from 07:00 to 11:00 and from 18:00 to 23:00, which affects the weighted average purchase price of energy.
