Romania: Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page
By 2050, Romania aims to lower its primary energy consumption by 25%, while the final energy consumption is projected to decrease further by 28% compared to the 2022 level of consumption. These targets reflect a dedicated commitment to sustainability and a greener future.
The Romanian government has introduced its most ambitious energy roadmap to date: the Energy Strategy for 2025–2035, with a forward-looking vision for 2050. This strategic document charts Romania’s path toward sustainable energy, aligning with EU climate targets while addressing national energy security, competitiveness, and economic needs.
In Romania, the amount of gas in storage has fallen to 63% in just one and a half months, with more than a third of the gas in storage being consumed, a steeper fall than the European average, according to Gas Infrastructure Europe. On January 8, 2025, the filling rate of storage facilities in Romania was 61.74%.
The government of Romania has taken a number of steps to reduce the cost of electricity for consumers. These steps include: Subsidizing the cost of electricity for low-income households. Introducing a renewable energy surcharge, which is used to fund the development of renewable energy projects.
The primary energy consumption in Romania in the period 2011-2022 reveals several trends, although the total primary consumption has been quite stable (Figure 77). First, the primary consumption of solid fossil fuels (mainly coal) has decreased by 57%, and the consumption of natural gas has decreased by 25%.
Energy Efficiency: The Commission highlighted the need for clearer quantification of energy savings across sectors. Romania's updated NECP targets a final energy consumption of 22.47 Mtoe by 2030.
