Romania's coal production totaled 1.873 million tons of oil equivalent (toe) last year, being 2.7% lower (minus 51,600 toe) compared to 2024, according to data centralized by the National Institute of Statistics (INS).
Coal imports were, in 2025, 79,500 toe, down by 120,700 toe (minus 60.3%) compared to the previous year.
The dynamics of coal production and imports are expected to decrease by 2027, as other energy production capacities are put into operation, and will decrease by 11.4% and 24.5%, respectively, according to estimates in the latest Energy Balance Forecast, published by the National Commission for Strategy and Forecasting (CNSP).''
Thus, according to CNSP, coal production was estimated for 2025 at 1.718 million toe (minus 10.5%), in 2026 at 1.555 million toe (minus 9.5%) and in 2027 at 1.432 million toe (minus 7.9%).
Imports were expected to decrease in 2025 by 20.5%, to 164,000 toe, in 2026 by 26.3%, to 121,000 toe, and in 2027 by 34.4%, to 79,000 toe.
