Romanian Energy Center merges with IRE, joins Eurelectric to support Romania’s energy transition

The Romanian Energy Center Association (CRE) merges with the Romanian National Institute for the Study of the Planning and Use of Energy Sources (IRE) and takes over the representation of the national energy industry in Eurelectric, the federation that supports the interests of the electricity industry in Europe. This decision marks an important step in Romania’s alignment with the European objectives of decarbonisation and electrification, strengthening the position of CRE and its members in a sector in full evolution.

This partnership brings multiple benefits to CRE members, including access to updated strategic information and the opportunity to contribute to European energy policies by participating in the working groups organized by Eurelectric. Representing over 3,500 companies in the electricity production, distribution and supply sector, Eurelectric plays an important role in the energy transition, digitization and promotion of clean energy, and this strategic decision strengthens Romania’s position on the European energy scene.

“We are proud to become members of Eurelectric. This affiliation will allow us to strengthen our voice and efforts at the European level and ensure that Romania is well represented in all discussions regarding the energy transition and energy security. Through this partnership, we will collaborate to implement innovative and sustainable solutions that will ensure a secure and stable energy future for Romania,” said Corneliu Bodea, President of the Romanian Energy Center.

“The merger with CRE represents an important step in our efforts to strengthen Romania’s voice on the European energy scene. Through this merger, we want to give our members wider access to resources and opportunities, as well as support the transition to a more sustainable, digitalized and efficient energy system. Together with CRE, we will be able to get more actively involved in Eurelectric and make a significant contribution to the development of Romania’s and Europe’s energy future,” said Doina Vornicu, President of the Romanian National Institute for the Study of the Development and Use of Energy Sources.
