Electrica delivered a robust financial performance in the first quarter of 2025, posting a net profit of approximately 39.4 million euros. This represents a 53.2% increase compared to the same period in 2024. The growth was primarily driven by improved results in the electricity distribution segment, supported by higher distributed volumes and increased tariffs.
The Group’s overall earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose by 11.8 million euros, or 14.6%, reaching about 92.5 million euros in Q1 2025. This improvement was largely fueled by the distribution business, which saw revenues grow by 14.8%, an increase of around 33.7 million euros, totaling approximately 261 million euros. The revenue growth was attributed to a 4.8% increase in electricity volume distributed and a 12.5% tariff hike implemented at the start of the year. The distribution segment now accounts for 27.2% of Electrica’s total revenues.
Meanwhile, the supply segment also experienced strong growth, with revenues rising by 40.9 million euros in Q1 2025 to about 366.8 million euros, a 12.6% increase year-on-year. This was driven by a combination of increased retail energy consumption (up 3.7%), higher energy acquisition costs that boosted subsidy revenues, and changes in the subsidy recovery mechanism following a new ANRE guideline issued in July 2024. The supply business now represents 71.9% of Electrica Group’s total consolidated revenues.
Electrica’s leadership highlighted the company’s strong market position despite a challenging economic environment. They also emphasized ongoing expansion efforts in infrastructure and renewable energy investments, which form part of a broader strategy to support Romania’s energy transition. The company aims to achieve long-term growth, improve operational efficiency, and create sustainable value for all stakeholders.
