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 that in 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, to decrease by 11.4% and 24.5%, respectively, according to estimates in the latest Energy Balance Forecast, published by the National Strategy and Forecast Commission (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%).
