The trend of investors towards investments in photovoltaics has led to a significant increase in the share of energy produced by the sun during 2025, which for the first time in history has reached 13.2% of the total, from 6.4% last year, INSTAT said in a report on Tuesday. During 2025, available electricity reached 8,345 GWh, compared to 8,171 GWh in 2024, marking an increase of 2.1%.

Net domestic electricity production reached 7,468 GWh in 2025, from 7,837 GWh in 2024, marking a decrease of 4.7%. This production was realized by public hydropower plants at the rate of 45.2%, by private and concessionary producers at the rate of 41.6%, and by other producers (other renewable energies) at the rate of 13.2% of the net domestic production of electricity.

Gross import of electricity (energy received) reached the value of 3,375 GWh, from 2,669 GWh in 2024, marking an increase of 26.5%. Meanwhile, gross export of electricity (energy in delivery) reached the value of 2,498 GWh, from 2,335 GWh in 2024, marking an increase of 7.0%.

Public hydropower plants, in 2025, produced 3,374 GWh, from 4,085 GWh in 2024, marking a decrease in production of 17.4%.

Private and concessionary producers produced 3,109 GWh, down from 3,245 GWh a year earlier, marking a decrease of 4.2%.

Other producers (other renewable energies) produced 984 GWh, up from 507 GWh in 2024, registering an increase of 94.3%.

Grid losses reached 1,593 GWh in 2025, down from 1,614 GWh in 2024, marking a decrease of 1.3%. The share of grid losses in total available electricity in 2025 is 19.1%, compared to 19.8% in 2024, registering a decrease of 0.7 percentage points.
