Abstract
This chapter aims to provide useful insights into Romania’s electricity sector and critically assess the extent to which their current state is conducive to European Union (EU) “smart grid” objectives of energy decentralization and decarbonization. The chapter concludes that Romania enjoys relative energy independence and security vis-à-vis its EU peers, but also other neighboring countries, while it remains one of the most energy-intensive and polluting EU Member States. At the same time, Romania’s performance in relation to increasing the share of renewable energy sources in energy consumption and electricity production places it among the leaders at the regional and EU levels, particularly in terms of wind-generated power.
