The price of electricity today

This country has no bidding zone of its own, so it has no day-ahead price of its own.

Grid snapshot

Demand, generation and balance, updated every minute.

delayed data · as of 13/09/2026, 01:30:00

National consumption
21,152MW
▼ −589 MW vs a day ago
Domestic production
6,024MW
15,128 MW below consumption. The real border balance is measured separately.
▼ −16,764 MW vs a day ago
Importing now
4,562MW
Measured on the interconnectors, 21.6% of consumption. The 15,128 MW difference from “consumption minus production” is expected: generation-by-source as published does not cover everything that is generated.

Wholesale prices for the interval covering this moment, bidding zone by bidding zone — countries with several zones appear once per zone, with its code in brackets. The average is arithmetic across zones, not weighted by demand: a small zone counts as much as a large one. The figures exclude network tariffs, excise duty and VAT.

Today's storage, hour by hour

Deduced, not read from a key: the generation the feed includes in its total without itemising — by its behaviour, battery discharge. The bar is the hour's average, the dotted line the hour's peak power.

The Transelectrica feed has no storage key. The figure is the difference between the published total and the named sources: constant at night, near zero by day — the behaviour of a discharging battery. It is a deduction labelled as such, not a measurement.

How we estimated 12 g CO₂/kWh

This is an estimate, not a measurement. There is no official carbon-intensity measurement for this country, so we compute it from the production mix.

Σ(source generation × source factor) / Σ(generation), over positive values, with life-cycle factors.

The factors are life-cycle values — they include construction and fuel, not just combustion. That is why solar, wind and nuclear are not zero. Source: IPCC AR5 WG3, Anexa III, Tabelul A.III.2 (mediane), version 1.

How the renewable share is computed

Σ(renewable sources, positive values only) / Σ(all sources, positive only).

Numerator: Offshore wind, Onshore wind, Biomass, Run-of-river hydro, Solar.

Denominator: 6,024 MW.

Pumped-storage hydro and waste are not counted as renewable — the first would double-count energy, the second is partly fossil and its biogenic fraction cannot honestly be separated.
