The grid right now
Demand, generation and cross-border flow for Romania, straight from Transelectrica's own system feed. It refreshes about once a minute.
measured 14 Oct 2026, 17:30
National demand
5,920MW
-686 MW on this time yesterday
Domestic generation
6,577MW
More than the country is using β the surplus goes across the border
+76 MW on this time yesterday
Net export
656MW
10% of what the country generates leaves it
-760 MW on this time yesterday
Generation mix
What is producing the country's power at this moment.
- Wind 36.0% 2,369 MW
- Gas 19.3% 1,271 MW
- Hydro 16.8% 1,108 MW
- Coal 12.9% 851 MW
- Solar 11.2% 736 MW
- Biomass 0.8% 54 MW
- Not itemised 2.9% 188 MW
Generation the operator does not break out by source β pumped storage, industrial self-generation and anything not separately metered. Some dashboards label this "storage"; it is not, so it is left as what it is.
The last 24 hours
Demand against domestic generation. The gap between them is what crosses the border.

Market intelligence
Romania power market
Day-ahead prices, what solar actually earns, and how often the price goes negative. Updated hourly from ENTSO-E.
ENTSO-E Β· prices published through 16 Oct 2026, 00:45
Prices averaged β¬190.39/MWh over the last 30 days
Daily baseload, with the shaded band showing each day's low to high. Volatility, not level, is what a battery earns from.
Average price by hour of the day
The midday dip is solar pushing the price down in exactly the hours it generates. That gap is why capture price sits below baseload.
Why capture price, not average price
Solar sells all of its output into the middle of the day β precisely the hours in which it has pushed the price down. Its capture price is the volume-weighted price it actually achieved, and it is the number that belongs in a revenue model. The average price is not.
