Only energy traders will be able to unfold electricity imports and exports from now on, based on a trading license issued by the Regulatory Authority for Energy (ANRE).
At present, energy imports and exports can be traded also by the electricity suppliers. According to ANRE’s new provisions, suppliers are not allowed anymore to do that.
More precisely, the national Regulatory Authority for Energy will initiate the energy-trading license, which is different from the supplying license. The energy supplier is selling the energy to the final clients, while the trader is buying and selling energy only wholesale or on the import/export market.
The amended legislation is also forbidding the energy producers to trade electricity. Producers will only be allowed to sell the energy they produce at the stock exchange.
Romania has exported electricity worth over 200 million euro in the first nine months of 2014, almost five times more than the similar period of 2013.
