In 2024, E.ON further strengthened its role as a strategic partner in Romania’s economy, with contributions totaling around RON 3 billion (€600 million) in payments to suppliers and transfers to the state budget. Key highlights from the recently published 2024 Sustainability Report include infrastructure investments exceeding RON 902 million (€181 million) and the accelerated growth of energy solutions for customers.

Partner to Thousands of Romanian Suppliers
Last year, E.ON group companies made purchases worth approximately RON 1.1 billion (€219 million), over 98% of which were directed to Romanian suppliers. In total, E.ON works with around 2,300 direct and indirect suppliers, more than 95% of which are Romanian companies, thus reinforcing a strong local supply chain with significant economic impact. This figure excludes electricity and natural gas purchases for the company’s 3.5 million customers.

Major Contributor to the State Budget
E.ON remains one of the country’s key taxpayers, with contributions exceeding RON 1.84 billion (€370 million) in 2024. Since entering the Romanian market 19 years ago, the company has paid around RON 17.4 billion (€3.8 billion) in taxes and duties.

Top Employer
With approximately 7,000 employees, E.ON is among Romania’s largest employers. Thanks to ongoing efforts to enhance workplace culture and employee well-being, E.ON Romania ranked second for the second consecutive year in the industry’s employer brand rankings—recognition of the company’s commitment to its people.

Massive Investments in Romania’s Energy Infrastructure
A cornerstone of E.ON’s activity is the continuous modernization and expansion of natural gas and electricity distribution networks. In 2024, Delgaz Grid, part of the group, invested over RON 902 million (€181 million), exceeding its planned budget by RON 50 million (€10 million). Achievements included upgrading 365 km of natural gas pipelines and connections, and more than 2,000 km of electricity lines. Additionally, the networks were expanded by around 540 km for gas and over 450 km for electricity, enabling new consumer connections.

Since 2005, E.ON has invested €2.46 billion in Romania, of which around €1.95 billion went into networks.

Thanks to these investments, network performance has improved significantly. The SAIDI index (average duration of unplanned outages) dropped nearly sixfold in the last decade, from 410.24 minutes in 2014 to 69.81 minutes in 2024. The SAIFI index (frequency of outages) decreased eightfold, from 5.98 to 0.77. At the same time, technical consumption levels improved, with grid electricity losses reduced to 9.15% and gas network losses to 1.45%.

In 2024, the company distributed 23.8 TWh of natural gas and 4.9 TWh of electricity to customers across 3,633 localities.

Expanding Energy Solutions and Services
In 2024, E.ON supplied 3.4 TWh of electricity—around 7% of national consumption—serving 17% of household customers. For natural gas, volumes reached 18.4 TWh, representing 19% of national consumption and over 41% of Romanian households.

Solar solutions continued their strong growth. By year-end, E.ON had installed more than 4,600 photovoltaic systems for residential customers, around 3,500 of them in 2024 alone. For businesses, 392 photovoltaic plants were completed, with a total installed capacity of 85 MWp. In parallel, E.ON began developing its own portfolio of photovoltaic assets under Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), set to exceed 4 MWp of installed capacity. These projects are expected to avoid tens of thousands of tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually by 2030.

E.ON also strengthened its position in the energy solutions market, offering efficient heating, cooling, green power generation, and e-mobility solutions.
