The national electricity transmission operator ended the first quarter with an increase in revenue and profit compared to the same quarter last year, due to both an increase in the transmission tariff and damage to neighboring countries, writes mediafax.ro.
According to financial results released on the Bucharest Stock Exchange on Thursday, National Electric Transmission Company Transelectrica recorded revenue of 1.61 billion Romanian lei (MDL 6.2 billion) for the first three months of 2026, up 14% year-on-year, and net profit of RON 201 million (MDL 773 million), up 27% year-on-year.
Revenue support
A separate line in the overall balance sheet includes income from aid to neighboring countries affected by natural disasters.
According to Transelectrica’s report, in the period from January to March 2026, income from emergency aid amounted to 13.4 million Romanian lei (51.57 million MDL), an increase of 13 million RON (50 million MDL) compared to the same income for the same period in 2025.
At the request of neighboring power system operators, in the first quarter of 2026, emergency assistance was provided to Ukraine (January, March), Republic of Moldova (January, February) and Serbia (January) to ensure the power supply necessary to cover domestic consumption in these countries in the context of armed conflicts on the territory of Ukraine and, consequently, emergency shutdowns of power units in neighboring countries. Accordingly, electricity was supplied at special, increased prices in response to such requests.
Transelectrica is a state-owned company in which the Romanian government holds a 58.68% stake through the General Secretariat.
