In this context, the decline of consumption is estimated to have stopped, "a positive trend", said the Transelectrica representative. "I am more optimistic regarding the business opportunities in Romania. In the last three months, the decline in distributed energy and consumption has stopped. The pan-European market may deliver opportunities and subsequent, an increase in consumption. This is something to happen in the near future," Neagu said. According to her, it is important for Romania to be perceived as a partner on a large market.

Currently, Transelectrica plans to expand the network with new lines and increase the export capacity. "We already signed several contracts and, in the meantime, we try to develop a connection in eastern Romania," Neagu said.
