In general, the electricity supply in Romania is carried out by the electricity distribution operator in Romania based on an electricity agreement in Romania and a license. The Regulation for electricity supply in Romania also provides the possibility of supplying electricity in Romania without holding a license by a natural or legal person who owns electricity production units in Romania to customers supplied directly from electrical installations related to production units. This provision also applies to non-concessory distribution operators who provide production units to customers supplied directly from the electrical networks they operate.
