BUCHAREST - Romanian utility Societatea Energetica Electrica SA reported a 313% increase in net profit to RON 421.4 million for the first half of 2025, compared to RON 102.1 million in the same period last year, according to a press release issued Thursday.

The distribution segment remained a key driver of growth, with revenues increasing by 12.1% to RON 2,515.0 million, benefiting from a 3% rise in electricity distributed and approximately 12.5% higher tariffs. This segment contributed 29.2% to Electrica’s consolidated revenue.

"The results of the first semester of 2025 confirm Electrica Group’s solid growth trajectory," said Alexandru-Aurelian Chirita, CEO of Electrica, in the press release.
