ANRE — the electricity market's monthly reports

A monthly X-ray of the Romanian electricity market, as published by ANRE — the National Energy Regulatory Authority: how much was generated and consumed, who traded with whom and at what prices, how much competition each market has, and what households and firms pay on average. Pick a month: each edition carries every table of the report, with the original titles and sources, plus an explanation of each field.

These tables reproduce an official Romanian document. The titles, sources and entity names in them are quoted from the ANRE report and stay in the language they were published in. The explanations, the navigation and the notes are ours, and they are translated.
