Power prices in Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania reached close to €300/MWh on 4 November, keeping Southeast European prices above western European levels despite expanding renewable capacity. Constrained firm generation, scarce flexibility and transmission limits contributed to the premium.
Romanian households had the EU’s highest electricity costs on a purchasing-power basis in the first half of 2026. The country also recorded the bloc’s largest annual increase in household gas prices.
