The Romanian Ministry of Energy has proposed a draft emergency ordinance allowing prosumers to share surplus renewable electricity with other consumers, either for free or for a fee. This amendment to the electricity and natural gas law aims to establish a legal framework for energy sharing, addressing current market realities post-energy crisis.

The draft also introduces flexible connection agreements for limited-capacity areas, promoting faster photovoltaic connections. It seeks to transpose a European directive from 2024 and addresses issues of fixed-term electricity contracts, enhancing supplier transparency. If approved, this ordinance could transform Romania's energy production and consumption landscape, emphasizing decentralization and energy autonomy.
