Romania allows surplus PV electricity credits across multiple properties

Romania‘s energy regulator, ANRE, has approved new rules allowing solar PV prosumers under the country’s net metering scheme to use the monetary value of surplus electricity generated at one property to offset electricity bills at other eligible locations. The move could improve the economics of rooftop solar for households and businesses with multiple properties.

The new methodology, implementing Law No. 160/2026, expands Romania’s existing quantitative compensation system. Surplus electricity credits can be allocated across multiple properties belonging to the same prosumer, provided they are served by the same electricity supplier.

The regulation maintains quantitative compensation for eligible PV installations of up to 200 kW, allowing electricity exported to the grid to be offset against electricity imported from the grid. Installations above 200 kW and up to 400 kW remain subject to financial settlement based on wholesale electricity market prices.

The regulation also introduces clearer procedures for settling outstanding prosumer credits and requires electricity suppliers to adapt their billing systems by 31 December 2026.

The new methodology will enter into force upon publication in Romania’s Official Gazette.

Romania had reached a cumulative installed PV capacity of 8.5 GW by the end of August, according to the Romanian Photovoltaic Industry Association (RPIA).
