🏘️ Can I share solar power with neighbours or join an energy community in Romania?

The short answer

Energy sharing lets households use power produced by a shared installation, a neighbour or a community project. Whether and how it works depends on the national rules.

📜 The rules in Romania

Energy sharing and communities

ANRE has amended the electricity supply rules (RFEE) to set a framework for energy communities (press release of 30 June 2026). Shared energy is the power produced within the community, measured by the distribution operator per settlement interval and allocated to members' homes.

  • Supply in a community runs through three agreements: a contract for the shared energy between the community and each member's home, a contract with a main supplier for the rest of your use, and an agreement between the community, the distribution operator and the main supplier. (anre.ro)
  • The distribution operator determines and validates the shared quantities; its data are the only basis for billing and settlement. (anre.ro)

  2. Find a project or partnersAsk your municipality, housing association or building owners whether a project exists or is planned.
  3. Check the meter and the contractSharing usually needs a smart meter and registration with the grid operator. Your normal supply contract continues for the rest of your use.

❓ Questions

Do I have to own solar panels?

No. In many schemes you can take part as a member or user without owning an installation.

Does my supplier stay the same?

Usually yes. The shared power is counted first and your supplier provides the rest.

Who registers the sharing?

Normally the grid operator or the body named on this page. Ask them before you start.
