Record production of photovoltaic energy, Friday at noon. Romania exports over 1,300 MW of electricity

​Electricity production from photovoltaic panels exceeded 1,100 MW on Friday around noon, according to Transelectrica data. In total, renewable sources provide 3,500 MW, i.e. half of the country’s production, and 1,300 MW are exported.

At 1:00 p.m., the photovoltaic panels were producing 1,142 MW.

These are only the large parks, dispatched by Transelectrica. But to these is also added the production from the prosumer panels, which have a capacity of 1,500 MW, but whose production is not metered.

Electricity production from photovoltaic panels exceeded the threshold of 1,000 MW for the first time in Romania at the beginning of March, according to the publication e-nergia.ro.

In total, at the mentioned time, the production of renewable energy was about 3,500 MW (1,200 hydro, 1,150 wind and 1,142 photovoltaic), i.e. more than half of the national production (6,590 MW).

The other half was generated from nuclear (1,365 MW), hydrocarbon (1,010 MW) and coal (544 MW) sources.

At the same time, our country exported over 1,300 MW.
