Business Forum
Romanian electricity major Electrica Group has announced a substantial increase in its financial performance for H1 2025, with a net profit reaching RON 421.4 million (€84.58 million). 

This marks a significant increase of RON 319.4 million (€64.16 million), or 312.9%, compared to the same period of 2024.

The company's EBITDA also saw robust growth, increasing by 63.1% to RON 1 billion (€201.37 million). 

Alexandru Chiriță, CEO of Electrica, said: "The results of the first half of 2025 confirm the solid growth trajectory of Electrica Group. We registered a consolidated net profit four times higher than the same period in 2024, and EBITDA exceeded the historic threshold of RON 1 billion. This performance reflects the efficiency of our strategic decisions and the resilience of our integrated business model. Distribution continued to be a pillar of stability, supply registered a significant recovery, and investments in infrastructure accelerated, according to plan."

The growth was driven by a RON 266.8 million (€53.57 million) increase in the supply segment and a RON 122.5 million (€24.59 million) increase in the distribution segment. The supply segment's EBITDA improved from a negative RON 208.3 million (€41.83 million) in the prior period to a positive RON 58.5 million (€11.75 million), while the distribution segment's EBITDA reached RON 962.3 million (€193.30 million).

Operational revenues for the group were RON 5.84 billion (€1.17 billion), an increase of 23.8% compared to H1 2024. The distribution segment's revenues grew by 12.1% to RON 2.51 billion (€504.97 million) due to a 3% increase in distributed electricity volume and a tariff increase of approximately 12.5%. The supply segment's revenues also rose by 12.4% to RON 3.30 billion (€663.22 million).

Electrica has also accelerated its investment programme, with commissioned investments (PIF) totalling RON 235.3 million (€47.25 million). This figure is up by RON 36.1 million (€7.25 million) from RON 199.2 million (€40.00 million) in H1 2024.
