Romania exports near-maximum electricity capacity to Hungary during solar peak

Romania recorded near-maximum electricity export volumes to neighboring Hungary during midday solar peak hours, sending up to 3,135 megawatts across the border. Data from the energy exchange OPCOM indicated that export flows hovered around 3,000 megawatts throughout the early afternoon.

The high transmission volume effectively absorbed Romania's entire domestic photovoltaic production generated during peak sunlight hours. Strong demand from the Hungarian market was largely driven by competitively priced Romanian solar power, which filled almost the entire physical capacity of the interconnector linking the two national power grids.
