Hidroelectrica’s energy production hit all-time high on May 23

Hidroelectrica, the biggest electricity producer in Romania, reported an output of 87 GWh for Thursday, May 23, which was a historical maximum level for the company.

The company’s director, Bogdan Badea, said that the record could be broken again on Friday.

“We produced 87 GWh; it was Hidroelectrica’s highest one-day production. Today we could exceed that level and hit another all-time record, of about 90 GWh, unless production is reduced by the National Energy Dispatch,” he said.

Badea added that Hidroelectrica’s production reached a maximum power of 4,422 MW on Thursday evening, but that higher levels had been reached in the past.

In the past few days, due to abundant rain, Hidroelectrica has been able to cover over half of the country’s energy consumption, which turns Romania into an energy exporter even though a reactor at the Cernavoda plant has been stopped and wind energy does not have a major contribution.
