Romania’s transmission and system operator (TSO), Transelectrica, has published an implementation procedure for allocating grid connection capacity in Romania‘s forthcoming auction-based grid connection mechanism.

From the beginning of next year, all new generation and energy storage facilities of 5 MW or more will be required to secure grid access via annual auctions. The Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) adopted the methodology for the yearly auction process in mid-2024, in a bid to manage grid congestion and prevent speculative projects.

Under ANRE's framework, Transelectrica was required to prepare the implementation and procedure for the auction platform. Analysis by Bucharest-based law firm Nyerges & Partners explains that auctions will be organized annually, covering a 10-year allocation period beginning two years after the auction.
