Romania could become a net electricity exporter by 2027 if key energy projects are completed on time. Currently, the country faces significant challenges due to the shutdown of nuclear reactors and low water levels affecting hydroelectric production. The analysis highlights that the energy market has seen soaring prices, with Romania recording the highest average electricity price in Europe. New gas-fired power plants at Mintia and Iernut are expected to stabilize the system, although they won't necessarily lower prices. The Energy Minister aims to connect 5,800 MW of new capacity by 2027, focusing on renewable sources and energy storage. However, the slow pace of grid connections poses a challenge to achieving energy independence.
