Romania’s Hidroelectrica reports 62% y/y profit surge in H1

Hidroelectrica (BVB: H2O) recorded in the first six months of 2026 operational and financial results significantly above the results recorded in the same period of 2025, against the backdrop of a normalized hydrological regime, as well as the reconfiguration of the revenue structure as a result of the increased contribution of the supply segment, the company announced on the evening of August 11 in a note to investors.

Net electricity production was 7,070 GWh, up 17% compared to H1 2025. This increase was mainly due to the hydrological conditions in the first quarter of 2026.
