In January – June 2020 the total quantity of electricity billed for services provided on the electricity market (26.26 TWh) registered 6% decrease compared to the same period of 2019 (there is -1.66 TWh differencre between the two periods).
The total operational revenues achieved in semester I of 2020 registered 8% decrease compared to the similar period of last year (RON 1,184 mn in H1 2019 compared to RON 1,090 mn in H1 2020), mainly determined by the operational revenues from zero profit activities (the balancing market) and by the reduced quantity of electricity delivered.
The profit allowed activities segment registered 5% revenue decrease (RON 609 mn in H1 2019 compared to RON 581 mn in H1 2020), mainly determined by 8% decrease of transmission revenues and of other revenues on the power market (RON 552 mn in H1 2019 compared to RON 507 mn in H1 2020) because of the diminished electricity quantity delivered to consumers and reduced average tariff for transmission services approved by ANRE, decrease owed also to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemy.
Beginning with mid-March 2020 the EU member states have applied restrictive measures to slow down the spreading of COVID 19. Such measures included closure of factories, schools, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels and obliging the population to stay indoors.
Many companies reduced their production because of absent demand or because their supply chain was broken. Such measures were applicable in European countries during the entire month of April 2020, and in Romania the emergency state ceased generating effects beginning with 15 May 2020.
The energy sector has also felt the impact of the coronavirus crisis, and the negative effects were registered especially in the domain of renewable energy sources, which greatly depends on the import of components, moreover from China.
In its capacity of Transmission and System Operator (TSO) Transelectrica implemented urgent measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19, such as additional protection applied in order to minimise the effects over the employees᾽ health and security, to provide activity continuity under safe conditions as well as the continuity of Company objectives.
In semester I 2020 revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacity registered 25% reduction
compared to the same period of last year, amounting to RON 10.7 mn, corresponding to the utilisation level of available interconnection capacities by the traders on the electricity market.
The mechanism allocating the interconnection capacity consists in organising annual, monthly, daily and intraday auctions. The annual, monthly and intraday bids are explicit - they bid only the transmission capacity, while the daily ones with Hungary are implicit - they allocate energy simultaneosly with the capacity by means of the coupling mechanism.
Beginning with 19 November 2014 the regional power exchange was established by Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which means these four countries should have a single price of electricity transacted on spot markets. Capacity allocation between Romania and Hungary, the only country of the 3 Romania has a frontier with, is performed by transporters, Transelectrica and MAVIR, by means of a common mechanism based on a bilateral agreement.
Beginning with 2016 the UIOSI principile was implemented on the Bulgarian border, and beginning with 2017 on the Serbian frontier as well. In accordance with such principle the participants that do not use the capacities they won at annual and monthly bids are remunerated (by Transelectrica) for such capacity. The unused capacity is sold later under daily bids. The sense is reverse on the Hungarian border, meaning that MAVIR remunerates the participants for unused capacities.
The market allocating the interconnection capacities is fluctuating; the prices evolve depending on the demand and needs of participants on the electricity market to procure interconnection capacity.
Beginning with November 2019 the 2nd wave was launched under the single European solution of intraday markets coupling (SIDC – Single Intraday Coupling).
The single intraday markets coupling mechanism provides uninterrupted harmonisation of sale and purchase offers from market participants from a bidding area with sale and purchase offers within their bidding area and from any other bidding area where crossborder capacity is available. Thus the explicit intraday bids are only on the Serbian border while on the Bulgarian and Hungarian borders they are implicit (under SIDC).
Net revenue from the allocation of interconnection capacity is used in accordance with the provisions of ANRE Order 171/2019, updated and EU Regulation 943 of 05 June 2019 regarding the internal electricity market as financing source of investments to upgrade and develop the interconnection capacities with neighbouring systems.
Revenues from Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) registered increase by RON 1.2 mn in semester I 2020 compared to semester I 2019 because the imported / exported / transited electricity amount was higher than last year, and the import / export / transit tariff applied increased in 2020 compared to 2019.
Revenues from electricity transacted for OTC were mainly obtained from selling the excess electricity on the Intraday Market managed by OPCOM and under BRP CIGA Energy on the Balancing Market.
At the end of November 2019 the coupled operation of intraday markets was launched Europe-wide under the XBID/SIDC project, which provided higher market liquidity and diversified the products transacted.
Revenues from OTC transactions were 21% lower in the studied period of 2020 compared with the same interval of 2019 (from RON 4.6 mn in semester I 2019 to RON 3.7 mn in semester I 2020); the electricity amount sold in semester I 2020 was about 800 MWh smaller than that of semester I 2019, and the average sale price on the balancing market was about 30% lower because of the Covid-19 pandemy.
Revenues from functional system services and unplanned exchanges registered 52% growth in semester I 2020 compared to semester I 2019 determined by higher tariff approved by ANRE for such services when the electricity quantity delivered to consumers diminished 6%, namely 1.66 TWh.

Revenues from zero-profit activities registered 11% decrease (RON 509 mn on 30 June 2020 compared to RON 575 mn on 30 June 2019), mainly determined by 41% reduced revenues on the balancing market (from RON 280 mn on 30 June 2019 to RON 166 mn on 30 June 2020).
The reduction of such revenues by RON 114 mn compared with the same period of last year was mainly owed to the following issues:
During the first semester of 2020 revenues from technological system services registered 16% increase compared to the same period of 2019 (RON 343mn on 30 June 2020 compared to RON 295 mn on 30 June 2019), determined by higher tariff approved by ANRE for such services when the electricity quantity delivered to consumers diminished 6%.
In semester I 2020 revenues from technological system services were higher by RON 45 mn compared to the expenses made to procure technological system services. This amount increases the Company᾽s gross profit registered on 30 June 2020.
Total operational expenses (including amortisement) achieved in the first semester of 2020 registered 17% decrease compared to the same period of last year (RON 945 mn compared to RON 1,144 mn in H1 2019).
In the profit allowed activities segment expenses (amortisement included) registered 6% decrease (RON 481 mn in H1 2020 compared to RON 511 mn in H1 2019).
Operating expenses from profit allowed activities (mill RON)

OTC: In semester I 2020 expenses for one᾽s own technological consumption (losses) were 22% lower (RON 31.8 mn) compared to semester I 2019 because of the following issues:
In the epidemiologic context generated by Covid-19 spreading the average price was about 28% lower than in the same period of last year;

*Pr*Preliminary values, the average price was calculated at the net value (purchases-sales) and does not take into account the PRE services. elimary values
Expenses regarding the electricity consumption within RET substations: registered 17% decrease in semester I 2020 compared to the same period of last year (RON 8.89 mn in January-June 2020 compared to RON 10.7 mn in January-June 2019) because of lower electricity procurement prices which were used in the electricity supply contracts concluded for 2020.
In view of performing electricity transmission in electric substations and the operation of the National Power System under safe conditions Transelectrica should procure electricity to cover the consumption of auxiliary services from high voltage electric substations managed by the Company, namely the consumption of internal services from the 81 electric substations, for each consumption place.
Functional system services: Associated expenses decreased 32% (RON 12.6 mn in H1 2020 compared to RON 18.5 mn in H1 2019), mainly determined by reduced expenses on the balancing market and on the day-ahead market regarding unplanned electricity exchanges with the neighbouring countries interconnected to SEN.
Such expenses represent uncontracted international electricity exchanges with neighbouring countries and expenses with unplanned exchanges on the day-ahead market.
The monthly payment obligations / collection rights for each transmission and system operator (TSO) are established under the compensation / settlement mechanism for the effects of using the electricity transmission network (RET) for electricity transits between the TSO-s of the 35 countries that adhered to such mechanism under ENTSO-E.
In semester I 2020 such expenses were RON 4.2 mn higer compared to the same period of last year, the difference resulting from regularised estimations of expenses made.
The zero-profit activities segment registered 27% cost reduction (RON 464 mn on 30 June 2020 compared to RON 633 mn on 30 June 2019), maily determined by reduced expenses on the balancing market.
The Company procures technological system services from producers in order to maintain the operational safety of SEN and the quality of electricity transmitted, at parameters required by applicable technical norms.
Such services are contracted as follows:
Under regulated regime according to Governmental Decisions and to Decisions of the National Regulatory Authority in the Energy domain (ANRE);
By means of competitive mechanisms.
The value of expenses regarding technological system services in H1 2020 registered 16% decrease compared to those of the same period in 2019 (RON 298 mn in H1 2020 compared to RON 353 mn in H1 2019).
The costs of STS procurement in January–June 2020 were mainly determined by the following factors:
Procurement prices of technological system services on the competitive market in semester I 2020 maintained around the values registered in the same period of 2019 for the secondary reserve (RS) and fast tertiary reserve (RTR);
In semester I 2020 there was a high level of concentration on the market of technological system
services by types of services secondary reserve (RS) fast tertiary reserve (RTR).
The Company re-invoices the value of technological system services procured from producers to the electricity suppliers licensed by ANRE that benefit of such services in the end.
In the following period of 2020 estimations are the regulations to be implemented in the national legislation in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 943 of the European Parliament and Council of 5 June 2019, and the evolution of COVID-19 spreading management country-wide will have significant impact on the development of costs to procure system services in the entire Company.
Profit allowed activities recorded positive result of RON 100 mn in semester I 2020, increasing 3% compared to the one registered in the same period of last year.

EBIT generated by zero-profit activities registered positive result of RON 45 mn compared to the RON 58 loss registered in the same period of last year.
Gross profit registered significant growth of RON 108 mn from RON 35 mn in semester I 2019 to RON 143 mn in semester I 2020.
The dynamics of the gross result between the profit registered in H1 2020 compared to H1 2019, broken down by the constitutive components of profit is provided in the graph below:

The net financial result registered in semester I 2020 is negative amounting to RON 2 mn. This is mainly influenced by the evolution of the national currency᾽s exchange rate compared to Euro, currency which the Company has contracted bank loans in to finance its investment programmes.
The evolution of the Leu/Euro and Leu/USD exchange rates in January - June 2020 is provided in the following graph.

The net profit increased in the studied period, reaching to RON 116 mn in semester I 2020 compared to RON 30 mn in semester I 2019.
Non-current assets registered insignificant decrease of about 0.3% in January-June 2020 compared to 2019, against the background of reduced tangible assets determined by the registration of amortisement.
Current assets increased 2% on 30 June 2020 (RON 1,174 mn) compared to the value registered on 31 December 2019 (RON 1,150 mn).
Trade and other receivables registered 13% reduction (RON 613 mn on 30 June 2020 from RON 706 mn on 31 December 2019) mainly because of:
The main clients on balance from the electricity market are: RAAN, Electrica Furnizare SA, E.ON Energie Romania SA, Enel Energie SA, OPCOM SA, Petprod SRL, Alro, Enel Energie Muntenia SA, and CET Govora. The share of main clients on the electricity market is about 45% of the total trade receivables.
Receivables to collect from the bonus-type support scheme promoting high efficiency cogeneration amounted to 27% on 30 June 2020 (23% on 31 December 2019) of the total trade receivables.
The Company carries out activities under the bonus-type support scheme promoting high efficiency cogeneration in capacity of support scheme administrator in accordance with the provisions of HGR 1215/2009, "the main attributions being to monthly collect the cogeneration contribution and to pay the bonuses every month".
Clients from the bonus-type support scheme promoting high efficiency cogeneration registered increase as of 30 June 2020, mainly determined by higher invoiced values for the collection of monthly contribution.
On 30 June 2020 the Company registered collectable receivables amounting to RON 175 mn, represented by the issued invoices under the bonus-type support scheme promoting high efficiency cogeneration, of which:
Overcompensation for 2011-2013 amounting to RON 76.7 mn, namely from RAAN – RON 3.46 mn and CET Govora SA – RON 13.23 mn;

To extinguish the receivables generated by overcompensation and undue bonus the Company requested the producers qualified for the support scheme to make mutual compensations. In case of producers (RAAN, CET Govora) that did not agree with this manner of extingushing mutual receivables and liabilities the Company has applied and further applies the provisions of article 17 para 5 from Order nr. 116/2013 of ANRE president approving the Regulation establishing the collection mode of the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration and bonus payment for electricity produced under high efficiency cogeneration.
Other receivables on 30 June 2020 amounted to RON 150.9 mn and mainly include:
Sundry debtors (RON 114.2 mn), of which:
Payment delay penalties calculated for defaulting clients, amounting to RON 71.7 mn (of which RON 35.3 mn represent penalties under the support scheme). The greatest delay penalties were registered by the following clients: RAAN (RON 16.9 mn), CET Govora (RON 9.6 mn), Electrocentrale Bucharest (RON 9.4 mn), Eco Energy SRL (RON 8.9 mn), Petprod SRL (RON 8.9 mn), Total Electric Oltenia (RON 3.3 mn), and ICPE Electrocond Technologies (RON 1 mn). Depreciation allowances were registered for the penalties calculated for late payment of receivables from operational activities;

Deferred expenses amounting to RON 8.7 mn mainly represented by: international subscription to ENTSO-E for 2020 (RON 2.6 mn); annual contribution to ANRE for 2020 (RON 2.5 mn); down payments to the contracts concluded with electricity suppliers as necessary to cover one᾽s own technological consumption in future periods (RON 1.5 mn), rent to DAGESH ROM SRL (RON 0.62 mn) and others;
Non-current liabilities amounting to RON 672 mn on 30 June 2020 registered only 2% decrease compared to the value registered on 31 December 2019.
At the same time current liabilities registered also 8% decrease (from RON 732 mn on 31 December 2019 to RON 678 mn on 30 June 2020), mainly because of reduced volume of transactions on the balancing market simultaneously with decreased value of the monthly bonus under the support scheme of June 2020 compared to that of December 2019.
On 30 June 2020 compared to 31 December 2019 liabilities on balance from the power market amounted to RON 242.8 mn compared to RON 390.2 mn, being influenced by:
Suppliers on the electricity market are represented mainly by: SC Hidroelectrica SA, Electrocentrale Bucharest, OPCOM, Mavir, Energy Complex Oltenia, Energy Complex Hunedoara, Veolia Energy Prahova, Veolia Energy Iasi, Termoficare Oradea, and CET Govora. On 30 June 2020 their share in the total electricity suppliers was about 81% of the energy market.
Reduced balance of liabilities associated to operational activities, mainly determined by paying in quarter I 2020 the payment obligations on balance on the electricity market on 31 December 2019;
Reduced liabilities associated to the support scheme to suppliers (producers) were mainly determined by paying the liability corresponding to the monthly bonus of June 2020 compared to the monthly bonus of December 2019.
On 30 June 2020 payment obligations were registered to suppliers (producers) amounting to RON 54.6 mn (RAAN – RON 51.2 mn and CET Govora SA – RON 3.4 mn), representing the monthly cogeneration bonus, the ante-overcompensation for 2014 & 2015, the unpaid bonus in 2015 & 2016.
The amounts representing Company liabilities under the support scheme to RAAN and CET Govora were withheld from payment according to article 17 para 5 of Order 116/2013 of ANRE president, since the suppliers (producers) register payment obligations to the Company under the bonus-type support scheme.
Other liabilities amounting to RON 26.3 MN are
mainly represented by payment securities of contracts on the electricity market concluded by NPG Transelectrica SA, amounting to RON 15.5 mn.
Dividends owed to Company shareholders on 30 June 2020 and unpaid amount to RON 0.6 mn, being at the shareholders᾽ disposal by means of the payment agent.
Provisions registered lineal evolution from RON 70.017 mn on 31 December 2019 to RON 70.01 mn on 30 June 2020, mainly determined by provisions constituted for the disputes with Conaid Company SRL, Resita City, the National Forest Authority Romsilva, subsidiary OPCOM and other provisions represented by provisions registered for employee holidays not taken; VAT payable provision estimated for the ongoing fiscal audit Endorsement F-MC-326/13.11.2019_TVA for 2014- 2016; provision for ANAF Decision regarding accessory fiscal obligations income tax for 2012 – 2016 and a
provision for the annual variable component owed to the Directorate and Supervisory Board members.
On 30 June 2020 the value of non-current borrowings diminished in comparison with 31 December 2019 mainly due to repayments made according to existing loan agreements.
Shareholders᾽ equities increased 2%, mainly determined by registering the net profit achieved on 30 June 2020 into the retained earnings, amounting to RON 116 mn.
Year 2020 began with a transaction price of 19.60 RON /share. At the end of this period stock exchange capitalisation was of RON 1,488 mn, and the share was at 20.30 RON/share. The minimum transaction price of 15.00 RON/share was registered on 16.03.2020, and the maximum of 20.60 RON/share was reached on 14.02.2020.
Mention should be made Romania᾽s capital market was impacted by the occurrence of COVID-19 pandemy at the end of the studied period, and implicitly by the economic effects it generated, which was mirrored by stock exchange indexes and the share development of stock-listed companies.

In the first semester of 2020 TEL shares transacted on Romania᾽s capital market registered 8,341 transactions, with an average number of 68.37 transactions/day and 2,526,815 shares transacted of total value of 50,598 thousand RON.
Transelectrica shares belong in the structure of the following stock exchange indexes: BET, BET-BK, BET-NG, BET-TR, BET-XT, BET-XT-TR, and BETPlus.
The most representative for the Company from among them are:
BET (Bucharest Exchange Trading) index - capital market᾽s reference index mirroring the development of the 16 most liquid companies listed on the regulated market of BVB:
BET-NG (Bucharest Exchange Trading Energy & Related Utilities) index - sectoral index mirroring the development of companies from the energy domain and of associated utilities listed on the regulated market of BVB.
In accordance with the last adjustment date registered on 12.06.2020 TEL shares provide 1.66% share in the BET index and 4.50% in the BET-NG index.
TEL share development against the two indexes can be found in the graph below:

The environment the Company operates in provides uncertainty such as threats for objective achievement or opportunities.
Obviously, knowing such threats enables their hierarchical classification depending on their occurrence, on the magnitude of their impact over objectives and on the costs associated to the measures meant to reduce occurrence hazards or to limit unwanted consequences.
Within Transelectrica risks are periodically systematically analysed for the development of activities and the Risk Register has been established for detected risks, with the proper Action Plan meant to delimit the possible consequences of such risks in accordance with legal provisions.
Among the elements that can influence the Company's liquidity are the following:
anticipated repayment. To date the Company has never received a notification of anticipated repayment for its failure to comply with assumed obligation,
The Company does not stop at treating the consequences of likely occurring events but it also performs reactive management, implementing measures meant to mitigate risk occurrence. At the same time as provided by standards periodical review of risks leads to re-allocation of resources in compliance with changed hierarchical classifications and implicitly - priorities.
The Company pays proper attention to analysing the risk environment and detects in due time the possible risks that might occur in the future and their approach should be prepared beforehand.
In January-June 2020 the Company has not faced impossible situations preventing it to comply with financial obligations.
Therefore there are no risks and uncertainties for the following months of 2020 financial year, other than those previously described which might impact the Company's liquidity.
In terms of collections in semester I the Company had no delays but there are punctual demands from suppliers that have encountered liquidity issues to make payments before the established term.
The Company has never been in circumstances of not paying its financial obligations, on the contrary it enjoys very good liquidity.
In the first semester no problems were recorded in relation with bank partners. On 03.02.2020 the "First Demand Guarantee Agreement" security from BNP Paribas was issued in favour of BEI as per contract C997/20.12.2019 signed by Transelectrica and BNP Paribas to secure the credit BEI 25710/2010 for 3 years.
In conclusion treasury activities were not influenced by the impact generated by the epidemiologic context of COVID-19 spreading; actually one can notice the net profit increased, being higher than the budget of the current year.
At the same time the Company obtained for the third consecutive year the Ba1 rating (Corporate Family Rating) with positive outlook from Moody's Investors Service.
Obtaining the Ba1 rating with positive outlook consolidates a favourable position regarding the Company᾽s capacity to meet its present and future financial obligations, showing that Transelectrica has a sound financial profile with low leverage and strong stable and predictable financial values.
Examining the evolution of power balance components, in January – June 2020 compared to the same period of last year the net internal consumption1 decreased 6.7%, and the net electricity output - 12%.
Cross-border export physical exchanges decreased 7.5% compared to the same period of 2019, and crossborder import flows registered 67.6% increase.

In the generation mix structure of January – June 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 the thermal component dropped about 20.4%, the hydro component – 23.2%. The contribution of renewable and nuclear sources increased 4.4%, namely 11.8%.
Analysing the shares of components from the net generation mix in January – June 2020 one can notice the greatest share (31.5%) is represented by the thermal component, followed by the hydro component (28.4%), and the electricity generated from renewable and nuclear sources account for about 19%, namely 21.2%.
1Values do not include the consumption of auxiliary services from electricity generating plants; the net consumption value includes the losses oftransmission and distribution networks as well asthe consumption of pumpsfrom pumping storage hydropower substations

Net electricity production mix evolution
The installed capacity in renewable source power parks increased about 0.3% from 4,546 MW installed on 30 June 2019 to 4,559 MW installed on 30 June 2020.
The installed capacity in the entire National Power System of about 24,600* MW does not mirror the reality because there were unavailable units in many power plants which could no longer operate for reasons such as: high technical wear; incompliance with environmental requirements; low efficiency; high production costs, namely financial difficulties of the entities holding them.
The installed capacity associated to January – June 2020 versus January – June 2019 is shown below:


The distribution of physical import/export flows on the interconnection lines in January - June 2020 compared to the same period of 2019 was as follows:
In concrete terms compared to the interval January - June 2019 export physical flows decreased with Serbia (50% -330 GWh), Hungary (70% -121 GWh) and Ukraine (15% -3 GWh) and increased with Bulgaria (16% +268 GWh) simultaneously with significant growth of import physical flows on all interconnection lines with Serbia (134% +217 GWh), Hungary (108% +636 GWh), Ukraine (41% +444 GWh), and Bulgaria (41% -89 GWh).
Both import and export physical flows on each border are provided below:

In January - June 2020 the utilisation rate of the total capacity allocated on interconnection lines for export decreased in comparison with the same period of 2019 in relation with Serbia and Hungary.
Usage rate of total allocated capacity (%)

The utilisation level of total capacity rights on a border and direction represents the ratio expressed in percentage between the electricity from the commercial exchanges made (notified) during a month and the electricity corresponding to the total capacity rights.
If we compare the utilisation degree of the capacity allocated to import in quarter II of 2020, where the impact generated by the COVID pandemy had significant influence we can notice in comparison to quarter II of year 2019 the capacity allocated to import registered increase, namely of 180% for commercial import exchanges and of 120% for transited electricity, against a background of low hydraulicity registered nation-wide in this period when the European electricity consumption was lower compared to the same period of 2019, which led to lower electricity prices on the European and national electricity markets and implicitly to reducing the price differences between countries, which determined enhanced cross-border transactions.
In comparison with the interval January - June 2019, OTC (losses) decreased about 11.3% within RET in January - June 2020 while the percentage OTC dropped from 2.38% to 2.16%.
The factors that significantly influenced the OTC in January – June 2020, for instance precipitation and the distribution of cross-border physical flows are beyond the control of Transelectrica.
In January 2020 the OTC in absolute value decreased 9.4% compared to January 2019 because of favourable import / export physical flows and a better distribution of output, which have led to reduced electricity transmission at long distance from sources, but also due to better meteorological conditions as regards precipitation, which determined lower corona losses. The percentage of losses compared to the electricity input into RET decreased from 2.31% in 2019 to 2.05% in 2020. The electricity input into the outline increased 2.1% in January 2020 (87.341 GWh) compared to the similar period of 2019 because of about 2.7% (85.7 GWh) increase of electricity received from producers connected to RET and about 9% (61.7 GWh) of the imported one,
against the background of about 23.4% (60 GWh) reduced amount of electricity received from RED. Meteorological conditions were good and the precipitation amount registered was lower than last year, contributing to reduced corona losses.
In February 2020 the OTC in absolute value decreased 8.8% compared to February 2019 because of better import/export physical flows, which have led to reduced electricity transmission to long distance from sources. The percentage of losses compared to the electricity input into RET decreased from 2.34% in 2019 to 1.97 in 2020. The electricity input into the outline increased 8.27% (286.32 GWh) in February 2020 compared to the similar period of 2019, against the background of 4.25% reduced electricity received from producers connected directly to RET (122.475 GWh) and the electricity received from RED by 4.04% (11.021 GWh), while import increased 136.11% (419.816 GWh). Meteorological conditions were bad and the quantity of precipitation registered was higher than last year, determining higher corona losses.
In March 2020 the OTC in absolute value decreased about 1.6% compared to March 2019, especially because of better import/export flows, which have led to reduced electricity transmission at long distance from sources. The percentage of losses compared to the electricity injected into RET dropped from 2.40% in 2019 to 2.38% in 2020. The electricity input into the outline decreased 0.66% (23.719 GWh) in March 2020 compared to the similar period of 2019, against the background of 5.34% reduced electricity received from producers directly connected to RET (156.824 GWh) when import grew 32.16% (108.903 GWh) and the electricity received from RED – 7.93% (24.202 GWh). Meteorological conditions were bad as the amount of precipitation registered was higher than last year, determining higher corona losses.
In April 2020 OTC in absolute value dropped 24.9% compared to April 2019 because of reduced electricity amounts transmitted against a background of decreased electricity consumption owing to the coronavirus pandemy, the better distribution of output that has led to reduced electricity transmission at long distance from sources, but also because of better meteorological conditions in terms of precipitation, which determined lower corona losses. The percentage of losses compared to the electricity input into RET dropped from 2.39% in 2019 to 2.07% in 2020. The electricity input into the outline dropped 13% in April 2020 (435.3 GWh) compared to the same period of 2019 as a result of the about 19.2% (525.5 GWh) drop of the electricity received from producers directly connected to RET and about 5.6% (15.6 GWh) drop of that received from RED, against the about 31.3% (105.7 GWh) growth of electricity from import. Meteorological conditions were more favourable; the amount of registered precipitation was much lower than last year and contributed to reducing corona losses.
In May 2020 the OTC in absolute value decreased 13.8% compared to May 2019 because of lower amounts of electricity transmitted against an electricity consumption impacted by the coronavirus pandemy, better import/export physical flows on the lines from north-western SEN and a little better distribution of output, which led to reduced electricity transmission to distance from sources, but also due to better meteorological conditions in terms of precipitation, which determined lower corona losses. The loss percentage compared to the electricity injected into RET dropped from 2.49% in 2019 to 2.21% in 2020. The electricity input into the outline decreased 2.8% (91 GWh) in May 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, against reduced electricity amounts received from producers directly connected to RET by 9.95% (249.8 GWh) and received from RED by 45.3% (211.8 GWh), while import increased 153.2% (370.6 GWh). Meteorological conditions were more favourable, the registered amounts of precipitation were lower than last year and determined reduced corona losses.
In June 2020 the OTC in absolute value dropped about 10.5% compared to June 2019 especially because of reduced eletricity transmission against lower electricity consumption impacted by the coronavirus pandemy and better import/export physical flows on the lines from the north-western SEN, which led to reduced electricity transmission at a distance from sources. The percentage of losses compared to the electricity injected into RET decreased from 2.38% in 2019 to 2.34% in 2020. The electricity input into the outline dropped 8.7% (285.2 GWh) in June 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, against reduced electricity amounts received from producers directly connected to RET by 19.5% (534.8 GWh) and the electricity received from RED by 16.7% (68.5 GWh), while import grew 230.6% (318.1 GWh). Meteorological conditions were similar, as well as corona losses. June values are preliminary.
Consuption drops registered values ranging from -14.7% in April, -11.9 % in May, namely -7.7% (preliminary value) in June 2020 compared to 2019.
The electricity output also registered losses in comparison with 2019, namely -17.5% in April, -22.3% in May, namely -19.4% (preliminary value) in June.
In the first semester of 2020 the electricity consumption registered -7.2% drop compared to the same period of last year, while the generation registered -13.8% decrease (preliminary values).

In conclusion in quarter I 2020 OTC within RET decreased about 6.6% compared to the same period of 2019, especially because of better import/export physical flows which led to reduced electricity transmission to distance from sources and due to better meteorological conditions in January 2020, which determined reduced corona losses. Losses decreased from 2.35% to 2.13% against the electricity injected into the outline.
In quarter II 2020 OTC within RET dropped about 16.4% compared to the same period of 2019, especially as a result of reduced electricity transmitted against lower electricity consumption impacted by the coronavirus pandemy, better import/export physical flows on the interconnection lines from north - western SEN and a little better distribution of output, which led to reduced electricity transmission at distance to sources and better meteorological conditions, which determined lower corona losses.
Losses decreased from 2.42% to 2.21% against the electricity injected into the outline.
The decrease in the total value of non-current assets on 30 June 2020 compared to 31 December 2019 was determined by registering the amortisement of such assets.
The value of fixed assets registered in accounts in semester I 2020 is RON 52.7 mn (RON 18.6 mn in semester I 2019), increasing RON 34.1 mn.
In semester I 2020 the greatest transfers from tangible assets underway into tangible assets are mainly represented by commissioning investment objectives as follows:
Tangible and intangible asset procurements in January – June 2020 amounted to RON 111.6 mn, increasing compared to the same period of 2019 when procurements amounted to RON 100.8 mn.
The balance of tangible and intangible assets under execution on 30 June 2020 is represented by ongoing projects, of which the most significant are provided below:

The factors with significant contribution to changing the tariffs at the last review operated by ANRE for tariffs* applicable as of 01.01.2020 until 15.01.2020, according to ANRE Order 218/11.12.2019 are detailed below:
| Index | Tariff | m.u. | Approved value 1 Jul-31 Dec 2019 |
Approved value 1 Jan-15 Jan 2020* |
Approved value 16 Jan-31 Dec 2020** |

Note: Transmission tariff** reduction by 1.96% beginning with 16.01.2020 (compared to the tariff* approved on 1 January 2020) is owed to the reduced monetary contribution owed by NPG Transelectrica SA to ANRE's budget in 2020, from 2.0% to 0.2%, according to ANRE Order 10/15.01.2020
Tariff* increase (+3.68%) is explained by the influence of the 3% inflation forecasted in 2020 and by 0.6% increase of the regulated revenues calculated after applying the corrections provided in the methodology.
When establishing the regulated revenue for 2020 ANRE achieved corrections according to applicable regulations and accepted increased forecast of regulated costs and the reduction of the quantity that can be billed forecasted by Transelectrica. The following factors have been taken into calculation to establish the regulated revenue:
a) Final corrections associated to the difference between the estimated costs and revenues and those achieved for year 1 July 2018 - 30 June 2019, amounting to +35,310,432.00 RON;
b) Half result of corrections associated to the difference between the estimated and achieved values for year 1 July 2017 - 30 June 2018, amounting to +9,476,609 RON;
c) Recalculating the correction in the uncontrollable operation and maintenance costs associated to the tariff year 1 July 2017 - 30 June 2018 amounting to +11,443,780 RON.
Ex-post corrections – applied to the investment plan approved by ANRE, the output of non-current assets, the non-current assets under conservation and those leased to third parties for the 3rd regulatory period. The value of such ex-post corrections is -216,006,453.00 RON.
Ex-post corrections – applied relating to the difference between the forecasted controllable operation and maintenance, which do not represent efficiency gain amounting to -164,220,587 RON.
The annual forecast of recognised costs in the initial target revenue (before applying the corrections) approved for 2020 is 7.6% higher in nominal terms of 2019 than the annual cost forecast included in the previous tariff for semester II 2019.
In accordance with the provisions of article 82 of Law 24/2017 regarding the significant transactions concluded with affiliated parties in the first semester of 2020 Current reports included:
Current report of 06 January 2020 – addendum 6 to contract C256/2014 was concluded on 5. The quantity of electricity that can be billed upon grid extraction was reduced from 56 TWh in semester II 2019 (28 TWh*2) to 55.6 TWh in 2020). In the scenario where the quantity of electricity that can be billed upon grid extraction would be recognised by ANRE for 2020 with the same value as that in semester II 2019 (28 TWh * 2) its impact over the tariff is +0.6%.
Note that, given the application of the lineal factor the effect of corrections in the determination of applicable tariff (provided previously in items 1, 2 and 3) diminished, being only "distributed" during the entire 4th regulatory period. Taking into account the 3% inflation rate forecasted for 2020 and the electricity quantity of 55.6 TWh forecasted to be taken out of networks, a 2020 tariff follows (in nominal terms) of 18.33 RON/MWh.

The most important disputes impacting the Company are provided further:
Note: To facilitate reading and understanding, all amounts of this chapter are expressed in Lei / Euro
File 3616/101/2014 was registered on the docket of Mehedinti Tribunal, Section II Civil, Administrative and Fiscal Disputes pertaining to "claims amounting to 1,090,831.70 Lei, value of invoice 1300215/31.12.2013", file in which the Company is defendant, the claimant being the Autonomous Authority for Nuclear Activities RAAN.
Civil ruling 127 pronounced on 10.10.2014 by Mehedinti Tribunal decided admitting the request filed by claimant RAAN and compelling the Company to pay 1,090,831.70 Lei, the amount under invoice 1300215/31.12.2013.
The Company filed appeal requesting the court to admit it as filed, cancel the decision and rulings appealed against and refer the case to the territorial competent court for judgment, ascertaining the compliance with the requirements in article 1616-1617, Civil Code, for which reason it requested ascertaining the lawful compensation of mutual liabilities and their quenching up to the concurrence of the least amount thereof, namely the total sum the claimant asked in the summons and compel the recurrent - claimant to pay the expenses incurred with this appeal.
The appeal was registered on the docket of the High Court of Cassation and Justice that decided cancelling decision 843/2015 and referring the case for rejudgment to the same instance, the Appeal Court Craiova.
Ruling 124/2017 of the Appeal Court Craiova admitted the appeal filed by Transelectrica and cancelled decision 127/2014 pronounced by Mehedinti Tribunal, and the case was referred to Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI Civil for re-judgment. On the docket of Bucharest Tribunal the case was registered under no. 40444/3/2017, which by civil ruling 4406/04.12.2017 decided admitting the request filed by RAAN and obliged Transelectrica to pay 1,090,831.70 Lei. This sentence was contested by appeal. The hearing term was set on 13.12.2018.
In 2014-2015 the Company withheld from payment the bonus owed to RAAN under the support scheme according to the provisions of ANRE regulations, namely article 17 para 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE president.
Under such circumstances RAAN calculated penalties for its not collecting the due cogeneration bonus amounting to 3,496,914 Lei, withheld by the Company on behalf of uncashed receivables. The Company refused paying the amount of 3,496,914 Lei, which was not registered as liability under the support scheme.
File 9089/101/2013/a152 pertained to contestation against the additional Receivables Table and against debtor RAAN, the disputed amount being 89,360,986 Lei.
Transelectrica SA was recorded with only 11,264,777 Lei in the table of debtor RAAN, in the receivables category resulting from the debtors' continued activities, although the Company requested the amount of 89,360,986 Lei. But the remaining 78,096,209 Lei were not registered in the preliminary receivables table on reason that "they are not found as payable liability in the accounting books of RAAN". Moreover the judiciary liquidator considered the request to record the amount of 78,096,209 Lei as being late since it related to 2011 – 2013, for which reason the receivable statement should have been expressed when the insolvency procedure was opened, namely on 18.09.2013. Contestation was submitted against the preliminary receivables table and Mehedinti Tribunal admitted the accounting expertise evidence.
On the 14.06.2018 hearing term the case judgment was suspended until settlement of file 3014/2/2014 found on the docket of the High Court of Cassation and Justice, and on 14.02.2019 Mehedinti Tribunal decided connecting the fore-mentioned file to the one marked 9089/101/2013/a140 (pertaining to claims – payment demand). Thus case judgment was postponed since the instance considered it useful for case settlement to present Civil decision 2969/26.09.2018, pronounced by the High Court of Cassation and Justice under file 3014/2/2014, pertaining to cancelling Decision 743/2014 of ANRE president 743/2014.
The settlement of Mehedinti Tribunal by Decision 163 / 20.06.2019 is the following: It admits the exception of decline. It partly admits the main matter as well as the connected contestation. It compels the defendant to pay 16,950,117.14 Lei to the claimant; receivable occurred during the procedure and decided registering this amount in the creditors' table constituted against debtor RAAN. It denies the other connected requests. In accordance with article 453 para 2 from the Civil Procedural Code it compels the defendant to pay 1000 Lei to the claimant as law court expenses.

On the 15.10.2019 term it denied as groundless the exceptions of absence of active processual capacity and absence of interest. It joined the exception of prescription to the main issue; appeal right on the same date with the main issue.
