Șeful ANRE avertizează: Înainte de transport și distribuție, trebuie să vedem dacă avem suficientă energie • Newsweek România

The head of the National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) questions Romania's energy production capacity, emphasizing the need for sufficient national production before discussing energy transport and distribution. George Niculescu highlights that Romania's installed capacity per capita is significantly lower than the EU average, with only 1.24 kW compared to 2.6 kW in Europe. He warns that without adequate energy production, discussions on distribution are premature. Recent approvals for energy projects in Romania aim to enhance storage capacity, which is crucial for improving energy security. Comparatively, Bulgaria has a much higher installed capacity and is leading in battery energy storage.
