Electricity Supply Activity to Final Consumers in Romania

The electricity supply activity for final consumers involves the purchase and sale of electricity to individual users, whether households, companies, or other legal entities. This process includes contracting, delivery, and management of energy services for final consumers based on defined commercial and technical conditions.

Key Components of Electricity Supply Activity:

 

  1.  Wholesale Energy Acquisition:

    Suppliers purchase electricity from producers, on wholesale markets, or from traders, at negotiated or market-based prices, depending on the volume and type of energy required to meet final consumer demand.

  2. Contracting with Final Consumers:

    Suppliers establish contracts with end-users, setting conditions for delivery, energy prices, payment terms, contract duration, and other commercial aspects. This includes providing tariff packages and customized options, such as fixed or variable rates, tailored to meet consumer needs.

  3. Billing and Customer Service:

    Suppliers issue energy consumption bills based on data recorded by distribution operators. Additionally, they provide customer support for billing management, tariff adjustments, issue resolution, and handling specific customer requests.

  4. Monitoring and Managing Energy Consumption:

    Suppliers are responsible for monitoring consumption to ensure continuous supply, optimize required quantities, and prevent imbalances that could incur additional costs on the balancing market.

  5.  Adapting to Regulatory Requirements:

    The electricity supply activity is regulated by national and regional authorities (e.g., ANRE in Romania), requiring suppliers to comply with quality standards, transparency, and consumer protection according to current legislation.

  6. Risk Management and Consumption Forecasting:

    Suppliers prepare consumption forecasts and risk management strategies to mitigate costs associated with energy price fluctuations on the wholesale market and ensure stable and efficient supply.

Objectives of the Electricity Supply Activity:

  • Meeting Consumer Demand – Ensuring continuous and secure energy supply for final consumers.
  • Transparent and Trustworthy Business Relations – Building transparent, reliable relationships with end-users.
  • Cost Optimization – Efficiently managing the energy portfolio to keep supply sustainable and competitive.

The electricity supply activity plays a crucial role in facilitating final consumer access to safe and sustainable energy, ensuring flexible tariff options and protecting consumers with clear regulations and contractual transparency.

Wholesale Electricity Market in Romania

To ensure a clear and comprehensive understanding of the functioning of the wholesale electricity market in Romania, it is essential to present the complexity and relevance of regulations and market mechanisms that guarantee the efficiency and stability of the national energy system.

Components of the Wholesale Market:

  1. Day-Ahead Market (DAM): Firm electricity transactions are settled daily for each hourly interval of the following day, based on bids submitted by participants. OPCOM S.A. acts as a counterparty for all transactions.
  2. Bilateral Contracts Market: Enables the conclusion of electricity sale-purchase contracts for specific periods, offering flexibility to participants.
  3. Intraday Market: Created to adjust the contract portfolio based on production capabilities, consumption needs, and cross-border transactions, reducing imbalances. Participants can submit buy/sell offers shortly before energy delivery.
  4. System Services Market: Ensures the security of the National Power System (SEN) and the quality of transported energy. System services are provided upon request by the Transmission and System Operator (OTS), which purchases power reserves for system balancing.

Retail Electricity Market

The retail price of electricity for final consumers (households and companies) includes:

  • The price of active electricity, which may be negotiated.
  • Transport tariff, regulated by ANRE.
  • System services tariff, regulated by ANRE.
  • Distribution tariffs for high, medium, and low voltage, regulated by ANRE.
  • Contributions for green certificates and cogeneration, regulated by ANRE.
  • Excise duty and VAT, as per the Fiscal Code.

Applicable Legal Framework

The Electricity and Natural Gas Law in Romania, Law no. 123/2012, regulates the production, transport, distribution, supply, and use of electricity and natural gas, as well as the organization and functioning of electricity and natural gas markets. This law was adopted to align national legislation with the European Union’s regulations and directives in the energy sector. Over time, Law no. 123/2012 has undergone several amendments to address the evolving needs of the energy sector and ensure compliance with European legislative developments.

The activities of Photovoltaic Green Energy Production SRL are regulated by the following normative acts:

  • Law 123/2012: Governs the energy sector in Romania.
  • Law 220/2008: Promotes energy production from renewable sources.
  • Emergency Ordinance no. 27/2022: Regulates the electricity market and pricing mechanisms.
  • ANRE Orders and the Fiscal Code: Establish tariffs for transport, system services, and contributions for green certificates and cogeneration.
