Grid stableThe state of the grid, in plain words

Romania is using 4,141 MW and generating 4,203 MW. The surplus is exported. Nothing unusual right now.

Current demand is roughly what 12 cities the size of Cluj would use at the same time.

What the power is made of right now

The eight kinds of plants feeding the grid. Solar can read negative at night: the panels generate nothing, but the installations still draw a little power.

Frequently asked questions

How much electricity is Romania using right now?

Demand is 4,141 MW at this moment. The figure refreshes every 30 seconds from data published by the transmission operator, Transelectrica.

What does importing energy mean?

It means domestic plants are generating less than demand requires, and the gap comes in over the interconnection lines with neighbouring countries. This is normal and happens several times a day.

Why is solar showing a negative value?

At night the panels generate nothing, but the installations and inverters still draw a little power. That difference shows up as a negative value in the generation mix.

Where does the data come from, and how accurate is it?

Demand, generation and exchange figures come from Transelectrica reports, prices from OPCOM publications. Estimates we calculate ourselves are explicitly marked unofficial.
