Hidroelectrica posts lower electricity production, sales on nine months

Business Forum
State-owned hydroelectricity producer Hidroelectrica reported a significant 23% drop in net electricity production for the nine months of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, according to its preliminary operational indicators released ahead of the full Q3 2025.

The company's total net production was 8,473 GWh by September 2025, down from 11,053 GWh in 9M 2024. This sharp decline was primarily driven by the 24% decrease in net electricity production from hydro, which fell from 10,840 GWh to 8,289 GWh. Production from wind also saw a decline of 14%.

Despite the drop in production, the company's total electricity sales were down by a lesser 14%, totaling 10,130 GWh in the first nine months of 2025, compared to 11,719 GWh in the previous year.

This was due to a substantial increase in external acquisition of electricity, which surged by 149% to 1,657 GWh from 666 GWh.
