Significant event to report: summary of financial results for the first half of 2023

Reporting includes:

  • Unaudited Stand-alone Interim Simplified Financial Statements on 30 June 2023
  • Unaudited Stand-alone Interim Consolidated Financial Statements on 30 June 2023
  • Half-yearly report on the activity of NPG Co. "Transelectrica" S.A. for the period January-June 2023

Transelectrica's total operating revenues decreased by 16% compared to the same period of the previous year (2,200 million lei in H1 2023 compared to 2,604 million lei in H1 2022), in the context of the significant decrease in revenues from zero-profit activities.

Total operating expenses (including amortisation) decreased by 21% in H1 2023 compared to H1 2022, influenced by lower costs in the energy market.

The costs with the acquisition of energy to cover own technological consumption (OTC) were 261 million lei, 40% lower (-173 million lei) compared to H1 2022, mainly influenced by the provisions of art.23^1 of GEO no.153/2022.

Thus, on 30 June 2023, the company recorded a net profit of 162 million lei.

Compared to the same period of the previous year the total amount of electricity transmitted in H1 2023 decreased by approximately 1.9 TWh (24.97 TWh in H1 2023 compared to 26.90 TWh in H1 2022).

The Company's management employs a cautious approach towards reducing Transelectrica's costs, taking into account the most significant factors to ensure there will be no economic losses. One of the main concerns of the Company's Management is the continuous consolidation and expansion of the transmission infrastructure, by upgrade using cutting-edge technologies, thus ensuring the necessary conditions for the electricity transmission network to meet current and future market requirements.

Segment of activities with allowed profit: On the main area of core activities (transmission and SEN dispatching) there was a 16% increase in revenues (993 million lei in H1 2023 compared to 858 million lei in H1 2022) increase mainly due to interconnection revenues and transmission revenues, as operational costs (including amortisation) were reduced.

The significant increase in interconnection revenues (181 million lei in H1 2023 compared to 127 million lei in H1 2022) is due to the increase in the unit price of electricity across the European Union which has led to a considerable price difference between the coupled markets coinciding with a deficit of energy recorded at the European level.

In H1 2023, no revenues were recorded from capitalisation of additional costs related to the acquisition of electricity to cover CPT as the net costs incurred were below the level of costs included in the approved tariffs.

Transelectrica acquired electricity to cover approximately 75% of the quantity of the CPT forecast validated by the centralised electricity acquisition mechanism (MACEE), at a regulated acquisition price. The measures taken at European level to make energy consumption more efficient, the replacement of Russian gas, the reduction of demand in the industrial area, as well as the increase in the share of wind energy, in the context of an atypically

warm winter, led to a decrease in the consumption of quantities traded on the short-term markets by more than 35% and in energy prices on these markets. Thus, the average price of energy acquired from the DAM in H1 2023 was around 50% lower than the price in the similar period of 2022, though still higher than prices in preceding years.

The segment of zero-profit activities reported a negative result of 41 million lei, lower than that recorded in the same period of the previous year. The regulatory framework specific to zero-profit activities contains regularization mechanisms that ensure the compensation for excess or deficit of revenues compared to the level of expenses required for conducting the respective activities.

In H1 2023, electricity consumption at SEN level recorded monthly decreases ranging from a maximum of 12% in January to a minimum of 6% in February. The decrease in consumption was largely influenced by monthly average temperatures, which recorded positive anomalies and were generally above climatological norms.

Compared to H1 2022, in H1 2023 there was an overall increase in export capacity usage, i.e. an increase in export trade and energy in transit, amid high hydroelectricity and lower domestic electricity consumption compared to the same period in 2022.

Simultaneously, on 29 June 2023 Transelectrica inaugurated the refurbishment of the 220/110/20 kv Ungheni Transformer Station with a total investment of more than 10 million euros from the company's funds.

OPERATIONAL RESULTS

I. Charged volume of electricity

In the period January-June 2023, the total amount of electricity charged for electricity market services (24.97 TWh) decreased by 7% compared to the same period in 2022 (the difference between the two periods was - 1.93 TWh).

Profit segment allowed

Operational revenues

The segment of activities with allowed profit recorded a 16% increase in revenues (993 million lei in H1 2023 compared to 858 million lei in H1 2022) determined mainly by the increase in interconnection revenues and transmission revenues.

The increase in transmission and other revenues on the energy market (963 million lei in H1 2023 compared to 833 million lei in H1 2022) is mainly influenced by the evolution of interconnection revenues. Revenues from the application of the transmission tariff increased by 54 million lei (+8%) compared to the same period of the previous year.

In the period January-June 2023, revenues from interconnection capacity allocation increased significantly, from 127 million lei in H1 2022 to 181 million lei in H1 2023 due to the following:

  • The unit price of electricity has increased across the European Union, leading to a large price difference between the coupled markets. Implicit allocations, where capacity and energy are allocated simultaneously, are strongly influenced by variations in the price of electricity on European exchanges.
  • the European energy deficit,

the impact of the extension of market coupling which has the effect of levelling out energy prices in Europe, which is also one of the main objectives of Regulation (EU) 2015/1222 "establishing guidelines for capacity allocation and congestion management".

The allocation mechanism of interconnection capacities consists of annual, monthly, daily and intra-day bids. The annual, monthly and intra-day (borders with Serbia, Ukraine) bids are explicit - only transmission capacity is bided, while the daily and intra-day (borders with Hungary and Bulgaria) bids are implicit - they are allocated simultaneously with energy and capacity through the coupling mechanism.

On 8 June 2022 the Core FB MC (Core Flow-Based Market Coupling) project went live, thus initiating dayahead flow-based market coupling in the Core capacity calculation region. The flow-based market coupling mechanism optimises the European electricity market for 13 countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia).

The use of the net revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacity is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the updated ANRE Order no.171/2019 and the EU Regulation no. 943 of 05 June 2019 on the internal electricity market, as financing source of investments made in order to upgrade and develop interconnection capacities with neighbouring systems.

Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) revenues

These revenues were higher in H1 2023 (+1.75 million lei) compared to the same period in 2022 (0.24 million lei) and come mainly from scheduled electricity exchanges with the perimeter countries (countries not part of the ITC mechanism), namely Ukraine and Moldova.

Starting from 01.09.2022, the tariff for trade with perimeter countries has changed from 0.6 EUR/MWh to 1.2 EUR/MWh, resulting in an increase in revenue compared to the same period of the previous year. This was compounded by the fact that in February and March 2022, trade with Ukraine was severely reduced due to the onset of armed conflict in the region, and trade with Moldova only started in October 2022. forecast and the short term forecast on the Intraday 34

Energy trading revenues for OTC were mainly derived from the sale of surplus energy resulting from the difference between the long and medium term

Market administered by OPCOM and from the difference between the forecast OTC and the actual OTC on the Balancing Market.

For H1 2023, the Company registered an increase compared to the same period of the previous year in revenues from energy trading for own technological consumption (OTC) in the amount of +10 million lei.

In the structure of these revenues, transactions on the Intraday Market were lower than in the previous year, as a large part of the required OTC was acquired on the long-term markets through the Central Electricity Acquisition Mechanism (CEPA) mechanism and bilateral contracts, and prices on the short-term markets decreased compared to the previous year, while transactions on the Balancing Market were higher than in the previous year, mainly due to the fact that there were several intervals with negative balancing prices.

Operational expenses

On the segment of profit allowed activities, expenses (including depreciation) decreased by 8% (775 million lei in H1 2023 compared to 843 million lei in H1 2022).

OTC: In the period January-June 2023 the costs for energy acquisition to cover own technological consumption are in the amount of 261 mil lei, 40% lower (-173 mil lei) compared to January-June 2022, motivated by the following:

  • Due to its characteristics, the Own Technological Consumption (OTC) in the Electricity Transmission Network (RET) is strongly dependent on meteorological conditions, the structure of electricity generation and consumption nation-wide, the distribution of electricity flows in the internal transmission network and on the interconnection lines with neighbouring power systems, its value being very little if at all controllable in an interconnected and coupled regional power market;
  • following the provisions of GEO 153/2022,

Transelectrica acquired electricity to cover 75% of the quantity of the OTC forecast validated by the Centralised Electricity Acquisition Mechanism (MACEE), at a regulated acquiring price;

measures taken at European level to make energy consumption more efficient, the replacement of Russian gas, the reduction in demand in the industrial area and the increase in the share of wind energy, in the context of an atypically warm winter, have led to a drop in consumption of quantities traded on the short-term markets by more than 35% and in energy prices on these markets.

Thus, the average price of energy acquired from the DAM in the first half of the year was about 50% lower than in the same period of 2022, while remaining higher than in previous years.

* the average price was calculated on net value (acquisitions - sales)

Average prices in all markets were lower than in the first half of 2022, and the acquisition mix (net quantity) shows the following components in the two periods analysed:

Expenses on electricity consumption in RET stations in the amount of 25.4 million lei increased by 23.4% compared to the first half of 2022 when it was 20.6 million lei.

In order to carry out the electricity transmission activity in the substations and to operate the National Electricity System in safe conditions, Transelectrica must acquire electricity to cover the consumption related to internal services in the high-voltage substations under the management of the Company.

Expenses on Inter TSO Compensation (ITC)

In H1 2023 these expenses were higher by 9.3 million lei compared to the same period of the previous year and represent the monthly payment liabilities/collection rights for each transmission system operator (TSO) that are established under the mechanism of compensation/discount of the effects of the use of the electricity transmission network (RET) for electricity transits between the TSOs that have joined this mechanism within ENTSO-E.

Allowed profit-operational result

The allowed profit activities recorded a positive result of 218 million lei, an increase of +203 million lei compared to the same period last year, the increase being mainly due to interconnection revenues and transmission revenues in the context of reduced operating costs (including depreciation) mainly due to the favourable environment, which led to lower operating costs on the electricity market.

Zero profit segment

Revenues from zero-profit activities decreased by 31% (-540 million lei) compared to the same period of the previous year, from 1,747 million lei as at 30 June 2022 to 1,207 million lei as at 30 June 2023, mainly due to the -477 million lei decrease in revenues on the balancing market.

The segment of zero-profit activities also recorded a decrease in costs by 28% (-478 million lei) compared to the same period in 2022, from 1,726 million lei at 30 June 2022 to 1,248 million lei at 30 June 2023, mainly due to lower expenses on the balancing market.

The balancing market was mainly influenced by the following elements:

  • regulatory
  • national regulations on the electricity market, namely GEO No 153 of 11 November 2022 for the modification and completion of GEO No 27/2022 on measures applicable to final customers in the

electricity and natural gas market for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, as well as for the modification and completion of certain regulatory acts in the field of energy and the modification of GEO No 119/2022 for the modification and completion of GEO No 27/2022 on measures applicable to final customers in the electricity and natural gas market for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 updated, as well as for the modification and completion of certain regulatory acts in the field of energy;

  • European legislative regulations on the energy market.
    • on the operation of the market
  • energy market developments at European and regional level;
  • contracting method carried out in the pre-balancing markets;
  • the evolution of hydropower and wind generation;
  • the evolution of the average price recorded on the balancing market;
  • the evolution of the negative/positive imbalance of electricity suppliers in the balancing market;
  • the evolution of electricity production and consumption.

Revenues on the balancing market in H1 2023 were - 477 million lei lower than in H1 2022.

The balancing market expenses in H1 2023 were - 478 million lei lower than in H1 2022. These expenses result from notifications/realisations of participants in this market.

For the year 2023, it is estimated that the evolution of electricity production and consumption at national level and the European context of the evolution of the electricity market, the method by which contracting is carried out on the markets prior to the balancing market, will have a significant impact on the evolution of revenues/costs on the balancing market.

System services are acquired by the Company from producers in order to ensure the maintenance of the safety level in operation of the SEN and the quality of the electricity transmitted at the parameters required by the technical standards in force.

The contracting of these services is carried out:

  • under the regulated regime, based on Government Decisions and National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) Decisions;
  • through competitive mechanisms.

The acquisition of system services shall be carried out on a competitive basis through daily bids in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019.

In H1 2023, the contracting of system services under the regulated regime was carried out only for Reactive Energy. Transelectrica contracted Reactive Energy from Hidroelectrica SA, according to ANRE Decision no.1078/2020.

During January-June 2023, revenues from system services decreased by 25% compared to January-June 2022 (189 million lei as at 30 June 2023 compared to 252 million lei as at 30 June 2022), due to the decrease in the tariff approved by ANRE for these services, as the quantity of electricity delivered to consumers decreased by 7%.

The amount of expenses on system services in H1 2023 was similar compared to the same period in 2022, the difference between the two periods being only 0.1 million lei.

The amount of STS acquisition costs for H1 2023 was mainly driven by the following factors:

  • system service acquisition prices in the competitive market have remained around values:
    • the average acquisition price of the secondary regulation reserve at 79,30 lei/hMW;
    • average acquisition price of fast tertiary reserve, power increase to 37,95 lei/hMW;
    • average acquisition price of fast tertiary regulation reserve, power reduction to the value of 13,67 lei/hMW.
  • the manifestation during the first half of 2023 of a high level of system service market concentration for secondary reserve (SR) system services.

For the system services activity, according to ANRE regulations, the surplus/deficit of revenue compared to the recognized costs resulting from this activity is to be compensated by ex-post tariff correction (negative/positive correction) applied by ANRE in the tariff in the years following the one in which the surplus/deficit was recorded.

The surplus/deficit of revenue over costs resulting from carrying out this activity is calculated per tariff programming period.

For the period from 2023 onwards, it is estimated that a significant impact on the evolution of costs for the acquisition of system services through daily and oneway bids, at Transelectrica SA level, will be the evolution of ANRE's regulatory framework on the

electricity market, as well as the European context of evolution of the electricity market.

Operational result-zero profit

EBIT generated by zero-profit activities recorded a negative result of 41 million lei, down from a positive 21 million lei in H1 2022.

The regulatory framework specific to non-profit activities contains regularisation mechanisms that ensure that the excess or shortfall of revenue is offset against the level of expenses required to carry out the specific activities.

II. Financial Result

The net financial result for the period January-June 2023 is positive in the amount of 2 million lei, mainly influenced by the interest rates applied during the period under review but also by the evolution of the exchange rate (RON/EURO). The increased level of expenses/revenue from exchange rate differences was significantly influenced by the high volume of transactions related to the market coupling business segment.

The evolution of the RON/EUR and RON/USD exchange rate in 2023 is shown in the following graph:

Total operating revenues in H1 2023 decreased by 16% compared to the same period of the previous year (2,200 million lei in H1 2023 compared to 2,604 million lei in H1 2023), in the context of the significant decrease in revenues from zero-profit activities, a decrease not offset by the increase in revenues from the interconnection capacities allocation and transmission revenues, as the amount of electricity delivered to consumers decreased.

Total operational expenses

Total operational expenses (including depreciation) in H1 2023 decreased by 21% compared to the same period last year, 2,023 million lei in H1 2023 compared to 2,568 million lei in H1 2022.

The gross result increased during the period under review, from 33 million lei in H1 2022 to 179 million lei in H1 2023.

The dynamics between the result recorded in H1 2023 compared to H1 2022, divided by the constituent components of the result, are shown in the following graph:

FINANCIAL POSITION

I. Non-current assets

Non-current assets recorded in H1 2023 compared to December 2022 a slight increase of 1% (+32 million lei), mainly due to the increase in the balance of tangible assets.

Assets of the usage rights for leased assetsbuildings

Assets related to usage rights of leased assets buildings represent the right to use the premises leased by the Company in the Platinum office building as defined by IFRS 16 - Leases.

As of 01.10.2020 the lease agreement valid for a period of 5 years came into force.

As of 30 June 2023, the accounting value of the usage right of the premises leased by the Company in the Platinum office building is in the amount of 17.89 million lei.

Intangible assets

The evolution of intangible assets was mainly influenced by:

  • an outflow of intangible assets in progress through recognition in costs of 5.5 million lei,
  • the fact that for H1 2023, the Company did not record any additional costs with the acquisition of electricity to cover its own technological consumption compared to the cost recognized in

IV. Net result

The net result at the end of the first half of 2023, amounting to 162 million lei, recorded an increase of 133.5 million lei compared to the same period of the previous year, the appreciation being mainly due to the profit allowed activity in conditions of cost reduction on the electricity market.

the tariff, instead, depreciation expense was recorded in the total amount of 47.84 million lei for the additional OTC previously recognized.

As of 30 September 2022, the Company shall apply the provisions of GEO no. 119/2022, whereby the additional costs for the acquisition of electricity made to cover its own technological consumption over and above the costs recognised in the regulated tariffs shall be capitalised on a quarterly basis.

Thus, capitalised costs are amortised over a period of 5 years from the date of capitalisation and are remunerated at 50% of the regulated rate of return approved by the National Energy Regulatory Authority applicable over the amortisation period of those costs and are recognised as a separate component.

II. Current assets

Current assets decreased by 43% as at 30 June 2023 (2,115 million lei) compared to the amount recorded as at 31 December 2022 (3,702 million lei), mainly due to the reduction in trade receivables and advances to suppliers.

Trade receivables decreased by 1,082 million lei (1,312 million lei at 30 June 2023 compared to 2,394 million lei at 31 December 2022). The most significant developments were:

clients from operational activity which, due to the decrease in transactions resulting from energy market coupling mechanisms, generated a lower balance of receivables from operational activity (882 million lei as at 30 June 2023 compared to 1,696 million lei as at 31 December 2022).

The main outstanding clients on the electricity market are MAVIR, IBEX, Ciga Energy SA, Hidroelectrica, Cinta Energy SA, RAAN, Electrica Furnizare SA, JAO, OPCOM, Enel Energie SA. Their share is 67.73% of total trade receivables.

  • clients balancing market which, due to the decrease in the volume of transactions in the balancing market in the first half of 2023, compared to the second half of 2022, also led to a decrease in the balance of clients in contracts concluded for this type of activity (324 million lei as of 30 June 2023 compared to 564 million lei as of 31 December 2022).
  • clients support scheme, which recorded a 22% decrease mainly due to a decrease in the amount invoiced for the collection of the monthly contribution.

As at 30 June 2023, the Company records receivables from the bonus support scheme for the promotion of high-efficiency cogeneration at approximately 8% compared to 5% as at 31 December 2022 of total trade receivables.

The company carries out the activities related to the bonus support scheme for the promotion of highefficiency cogeneration, as administrator of the support scheme, in accordance with the provisions of RGD no. 1215/2009, "the main tasks being the monthly collection of the cogeneration contribution and the monthly payment of the bonuses".

As at 30 June 2023, the Company records receivables in the amount of 103 million lei, represented by invoices issued related to the bonus support scheme for the promotion of high efficiency cogeneration, of which mainly:

  • overcompensation for the period 2011-2013 in the amount of 76.70 million lei, respectively from RAAN - 63.46 million lei and CET Govora SA - 13.23 million lei;

  • Undue bonus for 2014 in the amount of 3.91 million lei, respectively from RAAN - 1.98 million lei, and CET Govora - 1.93 million lei;

  • other social claims in the amount of 1.39 million lei representing sick leave paid by the employer to employees, amounts to be recovered from the National Health Insurance House, according to the legislation in force.

Advances to suppliers paid as at 30 June 2023 are represented by suppliers debtors for the provision of services in the amount of 80 million lei have decreased significantly compared to December 2022 when they amounted to 697 million lei.

The balance mainly represents amounts from transactions related to the price coupling mechanism (ICP - Interim Coupling Project, SIDC - Single Intraday Coupling, SDAC - Single Day-ahead Coupling) amounting to 52.8 million lei - for ICP and SDAC and 25.4 million lei - for SIDC.

The start of the successful SDAC Single Day-ahead Coupling took place on 28 October 2021 and is the result of the cooperation between the Designated Electricity Market Operators (DEMO) and the Transmission System Operators (TSO) of Bulgaria and Romania, namely IBEX EAD, OPCOM SA, ESO EAD and Transelectrica.

The launch of Flow Based Market Coupling in the Core region on 08 June 2022 represented the transition from the Interim Coupling Project (ICP) coupling mechanism to Flow Based Market Coupling (FBMC), optimising the European electricity market for 13 countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Within the FBMC project, Transelectrica has the role of both Shipper (Transfer Agent) and CCP - Central Counterparty. As CCP, the Company has the task of transferring the financial flows generated by the electricity flows, following the coupling process.

VAT to be recovered in the amount of 255.1 million lei relating to the statements for the period March - June 2023 and October 2020, of which 55 million lei have been collected up to the date of this report.

The largest impairment allowances existing in the balance at 30 June 2023, represent trade receivables and related penalties for CET Govora (25.1 million lei), Eco Energy SRL (24.7 million lei), Petprod SRL (23.5 million lei), Arelco Power (14.8 million lei), Total Electric Oltenia SA (14.2 million lei), Romenergy Industry (13.5 million lei), Romelectro SA (13.4 million lei), Elsaco Energy (9.3 million lei), RAAN (8.5 million lei), Next Energy Partners SRL (8.4 million lei).

III. Liabilities

Non-current liabilities in the amount of 682 million lei as of 30 June 2023 decreased by 1% compared to the amount of 687 million lei as of 31 December 2022.

Interest-bearing liabilities

As at 30 June 2023 the amount of non-current borrowings has decreased compared to 31 December 2022 mainly due to repayments under existing loan agreements. At the same time, the value of current loans decreased from the balance of 92 million lei in December 2022 to 25 million lei as at 30 June 2023. As at 30 June 2023, the credit line is not drawn.

At the same time, current liabilities decreased by 48%, from 3,593 million lei as at 31 December 2022 to 1,874 million lei as at 30 June 2023, mainly due to the decrease in trade and other liabilities.

The impact on the evolution of commercial debt has had:

suppliers on the energy market, which decreased by 1,252 million lei and recorded a balance of 703 million lei in June 2023 compared to 1,956 million lei in December 2022.

This development was mainly influenced by:

  • decrease in the balance of liabilities related to operational activities by 963 million lei, which was mainly determined by the payment in the first half of 2023 of the payment liabilities outstanding as at 31 December 2022, mainly resulting from the coupling of electricity markets.

The suppliers on the electricity market are mainly represented by OPCOM, IBEX, MAVIR, Hidroelectrica SA, Joint Allocation Office, S Complexul energetic Oltenia SA, CIGA Energy SA, Electrica Furnizare SA, CINTA Energy SA, OMV Petrom SA. On 30 June 2023, their share of total energy suppliers is about 95.80%.

- the decrease in the balance of "balancing market liabilities" by 281 million lei was due to the decrease in the volume of transactions recorded on the balancing market in the first half of 2023 compared to the second half of 2022.

- the decrease of the liabilities related to the support scheme to suppliers (producers) by only 8 million lei was due to the decrease of the monthly bonus for high efficiency cogeneration from June 2023 to December 2022.

  • suppliers of assets decreased by 17 million lei due to payments falling due,
  • "Other liabilities" decreased significantly by 415 million lei, from a balance of 1,235.9 million lei as at 31 December 2022 to 820 million lei as at 30 June 2023, due to the evolution of creditor clients.

The structure of "other liabilities" is as follows:

  • sundry creditors in the amount of 412.9 million lei (increased by 23 million lei compared to 31 December 2022) are mainly represented by the net position of the support scheme for high efficiency cogeneration, liability position in the amount of 398 million lei and contracts for solution studies for connection to RET (12 million lei),
  • client creditors as of 30 June 2023 in the amount of 282 million lei (decreased by 489 million lei compared to 31 December 2022) and represent amounts received in advance from OPCOM (9.47 million lei), MAVIR (173.73 million lei), IBEX (97,89 million lei) and JAO (0.02 million lei) in transactions related to

price coupling mechanisms, ICP (Interim Coupling Project), SIDC (Single Intraday Coupling), SDAC (Single Day-ahead Coupling) and FBMC (Flow Based Market Coupling).

  • the liability for assets related to the usage rights of leased assets - buildings, according to IFRS 16 - Leases, is in the amount of 8.5 million lei (short-term liability).
  • other liabilities in the amount of 54.6 million lei are mainly represented by guarantees of good payment of contracts on the electricity market concluded by Transelectrica in the amount of 35.2 million lei and VAT not due during the reporting period in the

amount of 19.2 million lei.

Provisions decreased slightly, - 4.2 million lei at 30 June 2023 (64 million lei) compared to 31 December 2022 (68 million lei).

IV. Shareholders' equity

The equity recorded an increase mainly due to the recording in the retained earnings of the net profit in the amount of 162 million lei, on 30 June 2023. Thus, the shareholders' equity as at 30 June 2023 was 4,039 million lei compared to 3,869 million lei as at 31 December 2022.

The first half of 2023 started with a trading price of 22.10 lei/share, opening the way to the period's maximum price of 27.60 lei/share on 06.03.2023.

At the end of the period the price of one TEL share was 25.20 lei, bringing a market capitalization of 1,847 million lei, recovering in value from the minimum price of 21.00 lei recorded on 16.01.2023.

The company has the ability to adapt to the economic context, trading TEL shares in the first six months of 2023 on the Romanian stock market recorded 10,928 transactions with an average number of 89 transactions/day and 1,842,641 shares traded, with a total value of 44,229 thousand lei.

Transelectrica shares are part of the structure of the following stock market indices: BET, BET-NG, BET-TR, BET-XT, BET-XT-TR, BET-BK, BETPlus, BET-TRN,

BET-XT-TRN. Of these the most representative for the Company are:

  • BET index (Bucharest Exchange Trading the benchmark index of the capital market reflecting the evolution of the 20 most liquid companies listed on the regulated market of the BVB),
  • BET-NG index (Bucharest Exchange Trading Energy & Related Utilities - sector index reflecting the evolution of energy and related utilities companies listed on the BVB regulated market).

According to the latest periodic adjustment date recorded on 07.07.2023, TEL shares hold a weight of 1.13% in the BET index and 2.49% in the BET-NG index, weights adjusted due to the inclusion of Hidroelectrica in these indices.

The evolution of the TEL share in relation to the two indices is shown in the graph below:

MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

A thorough knowledge of the threats allows them to be prioritised according to the likelihood of their occurrence, the extent of the impact on the objectives and the costs of measures to reduce the likelihood of their occurrence or to limit undesirable effects.

At the Company level, the risks related to the performance of its activities are periodically and systematically analysed and the Register of Identified Risks, Risk Tracking Sheets, Risk Alert Forms (for new risks) and the Plan for the implementation of control measures are drawn up annually, in order to limit the possible consequences of these risks, in accordance with legal provisions.

Items that may affect the Company's liquidity include:

interest rate fluctuation

In order to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company's liquidity, long-term loans were contracted with fixed interest rates and negotiated favourable interest rates.

National money market interest rates experienced a downward trend in the first half of the year amid excess liquidity in the banking system, coupled with lower demand for credit and tighter credit supply conditions.

exchange rate variation

Currency risk expresses a probability of incurring losses on international commercial contracts or other economic relationships due to changes in the exchange rate of the currency between the conclusion of the contract and its maturity.

Another way to avoid such effects is to include a currency clause or a price revision clause in the contract. The application of various non-contractual measures may relieve the Company from the presence of negative effects.

In order to limit the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, the Company negotiates the best exchange rates through its specialised department.

In order to meet its foreign currency obligations, the Company has opened foreign currency accounts with commercial banks within the Romanian banking system.

The exposure to foreign exchange risk (mainly due to the EUR currency) is not significant, thus the Company does not use hedging instruments.

In the context of increasing relative attractiveness of domestic currency investments, Romanian leu has shown a strengthening trend compared to the euro since mid-January 2023. At the same time, the national currency experienced periods of appreciation in the first half of the year as a result of developments on international financial markets.

the provisions of the grant agreements

In the financing contracts, there are clauses on compliance with financial and non-financial indicators (covenants), and breach of these clauses may, subject to prior notification and reasonable time, result in early disbursement of the financing facilities. Some financing facilities also have penalty clauses in case of early repayment.

As of the date of this report, there have been no instances of non-compliance with the provisions of the Company's financing agreements.

risk of non-compliance with legal conditions

The liquidity of the Company could be affected by penalties due to non-compliance reported during regular control activities by the competent bodies (ANAF, CCR, MFP, etc.). This risk did not materialise during the period under review.

  • the level of taxation, including the introduction of new taxes and duties. In the first half of 2023, this risk did not materialise;
  • credit risk: The company could incur a financial loss due to the inability or unwillingness of a contractual partner to meet its contractual obligations. This risk arises mainly from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents. During the first half of 2023, there were no dysfunctionalities in the relationship with customers and invoices were received on time;
  • cash-flow risk this is the risk that Transelectrica will not be able to meet its payment liabilities when due. A prudent cash-flow risk management policy involves maintaining a sufficient level of cash, cash equivalents and financial availability through appropriately contracted credit facilities. The Company monitors the level of cash inflows expected from the collection of trade receivables as well as the level of cash outflows expected for the payment of trade and other payables.

The Company pays increased attention to effective treasury management, through efficient cash flow management and optimization of surplus liquidity to meet financial obligations as they fall due, as well as the availability, if necessary, to draw on financing through appropriate credit facilities.

For situations requiring working capital financing, the Company draws on short-term loans in the form of revolving credit lines.

During the first half of 2023, thanks to the solutions found and the timely measures taken, the Company met its financial liabilities.

Other risks that may affect the Company's financial performance may include:

the risk of credit rating impairment due to deterioration of financial indicators, macroeconomic and political climate and/or deterioration of financial performance of the Company.

This risk reflects a complex of factors, with a potential effect on increasing funding costs in the credit market, which may significantly affect the Company given the substantial amount of capital required to be attracted to finance the investment plan for the coming years.

As of 8 December 2022, Moody's Transelectrica's rating is Baa3, stable outlook.

The Company's rating is strongly dependent on Romania's sovereign rating.

The Fitch rating agency reconfirmed on 24 March 2023 Romania's government debt rating at BBB-/F3 for current and non-current foreign currency debt and revised the country outlook from negative to stable.

investment risk as a result of financial difficulties at subsidiary level caused by both historical debt, competitive environment and their own management.

The company attaches due importance to analysing the risk environment and identifying possible risks early on by adopting a reactive management style whereby it implements preventive measures in advance to mitigate the occurrence of risks.

At the same time, the periodic review of risks as set out in the standards is a practice consistently used by the Company which consists of identifying and assessing risks at certain intervals and planning the necessary measures to manage them.

ENERGY BALANCE WITHIN SEN

Analysing the evolution of the components of the energy balance, in the period January-June 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, there is a decrease of 8% in net domestic consumption1 and an increase of 5% in net energy production.

Cross-border physical export trade is up 88% in H1 2023 compared to H1 2022, while cross-border import flows are down 44%.

In the first half of 2023, electricity consumption at the SEN level recorded monthly decreases ranging from 5.68% in February to 11.61% in January.

The decrease in consumption in the first quarter was largely influenced by average monthly temperatures, which recorded positive anomalies and were generally above climatological norms.

Another element that led to the reduction of national electricity consumption is the entry into force of Regulation (EU) 2022/1854 of 6 October 2022 on emergency action to address the high energy prices issue. Article 3(3) of the Regulation provides that Member States shall endeavour to implement measures to reduce total gross monthly electricity consumption by 10% compared to the average gross

monthly electricity consumption in the corresponding months of the reference period2 .

The decline in consumption in the second quarter was largely influenced by the European context, characterised by a slowdown in economic activity3 , with GDP growth forecast for Romania for spring 2023 at 3.2%, compared to 4.7% in the same period last year.

PRODUCTION MIX

In terms of generation mix, in the period January - June 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, there was an increase in the Hydro component by 44% and in the Nuclear component by 3%, respectively a decrease in the Thermal component by 20% and in the Renewable component by 7% (mainly based on the decrease in PV -56% and wind -44%).

An analysis of the weights of the components of the net generation mix for the period January - June 2023 shows that the largest share, 39%, is represented by the Hydro component, followed by the Thermo component 27%, and energy produced from renewable and nuclear sources have a similar share of about 17%.

NATIONAL GENERATION FLEET

Installed capacity in thermal power plants decreased in H1 2023 by about 1%, from 5,708 MW installed on 30 June 2022 to 5,630 MW installed on 30 June 2023.

The installed capacity for the period January - June 2023 versus January - June 2022 is shown in the graphs below:

1 the values do not include consumption related to own services in electricity generation plants; the net consumption value includes losses in transmission and distribution networks as well as pump consumption in pumped storage hydro stations

CROSS-BORDER FLOWS

The distribution of physical import/export flows on interconnection lines in the period January - June 2023 compared to January - June 2022 is as follows:

  • exports decreased on the border with Serbia, and increased on the borders with Bulgaria, Hungary, Ukraine and Moldova, and
  • imports increased on the border with Serbia and decreased on Bulgaria, Hungary, Ukraine and Modova.

Specifically, compared to the period January - June 2022, physical export flows increased with Bulgaria (+1.149GWh), with Hungary (+299GWh), Ukraine (+306GWh) and with Moldova (+897GWh) and decreased on the border with Serbia (-41% -467GWh), while physical import flows on the interconnection lines with Serbia increased (+207GWh) and decreased with Bulgaria (-65% -1,024GWh), Hungary (-31% -202GWh) Ukraine (-45% -371GWh) and with Moldova (-10%, - 4GWh)

The physical flows of both imports and exports at each border are shown below:

Compared to the first half of 2022, there has been an overall increase in export capacity usage, i.e. an increase in export trade and transit energy, against the background of higher hydroelectricity compared to last year at this time of year and lower domestic electricity consumption compared to the same period in 2022.

A significant impact in the increase of transit energy has been had by Government Emergency Ordinance No 119 of 1 September 2022, amending and supplementing Government Emergency Ordinance No 27/2022 on measures applicable to end customers in the electricity and natural gas market, as updated, and amending and supplementing certain regulatory acts in

the field of energy, which introduces a solidarity tax for companies that export electricity.

On the border with Hungary, the usage rate is 100%, both import and import, as short-term bids are default bids (capacity and energy are allocated simultaneously), and since January 2023, there has been a complete switch in long-term bids from the Physical Capacity Rights allocation mechanism to the Financial Capacity Rights allocation mechanism (capacity allocated in annual and monthly bids is no longer a physical right that can be used by the participant, but only a financial right of the participant).

Usage rate of total allocated capacity (%)

The usage degree of total capacity rights on a border and direction is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the energy corresponding to trade carried out (notified) in a month to the energy corresponding to total capacity rights.

Trade includes the amount of electricity imported and exported as a result of Transelectrica's participation as an operational member in the European Imbance Netting Platform (IGCC) from 17 December 2021.

On the implications for the synchronous interconnection of the electricity transmission systems of the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine with the Continental European system through Romania, Hungary and Slovakia:

  • from 16.03.2022 the emergency synchronization of the power systems of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova with the power system of Continental Europe was achieved. This acceleration of the synchronization project, which started in 2017, was made possible as a result of previously conducted studies and the adaptation of measures to reduce risks in the operation of power systems;
  • The synchronous interconnection of the electricity transmission systems of the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine with the European electricity system has led to a reduction of the own technology consumption in the Romanian electricity transmission network, mainly due to a more favourable distribution of flows on the interconnection power lines;
  • The synchronous interconnection of the electricity transmission systems of the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine with the electricity system of Romania has contributed to the expansion of the electricity market, providing the opportunity for regional electricity trade between Romania, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova in the current context of the single European electricity market;
  • In the current geopolitical context, the synchronous interconnection of the electricity transmission

systems of the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine with the Continental European system will put pressure on the neighbouring power systems (Romania, Hungary and Slovakia) in terms of ensuring interconnected operation, i.e. regional adequacy, given the difficulties experienced by the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine in securing their electricity needs;

  • on the border with Ukraine, capacity allocation auctions are currently suspended as of 16.01.2023, until coordinated allocation rules are agreed, and on the border with the Republic of Moldova, long-term capacity allocation auctions (annual and monthly) are currently suspended, with only daily bilateral coordinated capacity allocation being organised for 100% of total capacity (auctions organised by Romanian TSOs).

In the current context of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it can be mentioned that data on the functioning of the energy systems in Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova are not publicly available, as the energy system in Ukraine is the target of many attacks.

OWN TECHNOLOGICAL CONSUMPTION

Compared to January-June 2022, in the same period in 2023 the OTC in the RET increased by ca. 8% and the percentage OTC increased from 2.23% to 2.54%.

Due to its characteristics, the Own Technological Consumption (OTC) in the Electricity Transmission Network (RET) is strongly dependent on meteorological conditions, the structure of electricity generation and consumption at national level, the distribution of electricity flows in the internal transmission network and on the interconnection lines with neighbouring power systems, and its value is very little if at all controllable in an interconnected and coupled regional power market.

Factors that significantly influenced the OTC in the period January-June 2023, such as rainfall and the distribution of physical cross-border flows, are not under Transelectrica's control.

OTC FACTORS EVOLUTION

In January 2023 OTC increased compared to January 2022 by 3.5%, as a result of unfavourable physical import/export flows on interconnection lines on the borders with Ukraine, Hungary and Serbia leading to increased transport of energy away from sources and unfavourable weather conditions characterised by higher precipitation leading to increased corona losses.

The percentage of losses relative to energy entering the RET increased from 2.42% in 2022 to 2.62% in 2023. Energy entering the meter decreased by 4.2% in January 2023 (171.9 GWh) compared to the same period in 2022, due to a 41.9% (212.7 GWh) decrease in energy received from imports and a 0.9% (28.8 GWh) decrease in energy received from generators connected to the RET, as energy received from the RED increased by 21.9% (69.5 GWh).

In February 2023 OTC increased compared to February 2022 by 17.6% as a result of unfavourable physical import/export flows on the interconnection lines on the borders with Ukraine, Hungary and Serbia which led to increased transmission of energy away from sources, but also unfavourable weather conditions with higher rainfall amounts which increased corona losses. The percentage of losses to energy entering the RET increased from 2.04% in 2022 to 2.42% in 2023. Energy entering the grid decreased by 1% (36.0 GWh) in February 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to a 42.1% (230.7 GWh) decrease in energy received from imports, amid a 3.4% (92.7 GWh) increase in energy received from generators connected to the RET and a 46.7% (102 GWh) increase in energy received from the RED.

In March 2022 OTC decreased compared to March 2022 by 3.5%, mainly as a result of the decrease in energy entering the RET contour and the more advantageous distribution of generation in the territory, which led to a reduction in the transmission of energy away from sources.

The percentage of losses in relation to energy entering the RET increased from 2.36% in 2022 to 2.57% in 2023. Energy entering the grid decreased by 11.7% (432.3 GWh) in March 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to the decrease of energy received from generators directly connected to the RET by 0.9% (24.6 GWh), energy received from imports by 54.4% (441 GWh), while energy received from the RED increased by 12.9% (33.3 GWh).

Weather conditions were unfavourable, with higher rainfall leading to increased crown losses.

In April 2023 OTC increased compared to April 2022 by 0.7%, due to unfavourable physical import/export flows on interconnection lines on the borders with

Ukraine, Hungary and Serbia leading to increased transmission away from sources, and unfavourable weather conditions with higher rainfall in areas with higher transmission line density leading to increased corona losses.

The percentage of losses relative to energy entering the RET increased from 2.49% in 2022 to 2.63% in 2023. Energy entering the meter decreased by 4.7% in April 2023 (159.8 GWh) compared to the same period in 2022, due to a 68.7% (308.3 GWh) decrease in energy received from imports, as energy received from generators connected to the RET increased by 0.6% (15.9 GWh) and energy received from the RED increased by 39.6% (132.6 GWh).

In May 2023 OTC increased compared to May 2022 by 12.8% as a result of the more unfavourable generation structure mainly due to the non-operation of the OMV Petrom CECC and physical flows on the interconnection lines, which led to an increase in the transmission of energy away from sources. Weather conditions were also more unfavourable, characterised by somewhat higher amounts of rainfall in areas with higher density of transmission lines, leading to increased corona losses.

The percentage of losses relative to energy entering the RET increased from 1.9% in 2022 to 2.29% in 2023. Energy entering the grid decreased by 6.6% (217.9 GWh) in May 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to an 8.3% (221.8 GWh) decrease in energy received from generators connected to the RET and an 18.4% (63.2 GWh) decrease in energy received from imports, amid a 24.4% (67.1 GWh) increase in energy received from the RED.

In June 2023 OTC increased compared to June 2022 by 24.2%, as a result of the somewhat more unfavorable distribution of generation in the territory and physical flows on interconnection lines, which led to increased transmission of energy away from sources, but mainly as a result of unfavourable weather conditions, characterised by much higher rainfall, which led to a significant increase in corona losses.

The percentage of losses relative to energy entering the RET increased from 2.11% in 2022 to 2.69% in 2023. Energy entering the grid decreased by 2.7% (89.9 GWh) in June 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to a decrease of 6.3% (164.4 GWh) in energy received from generators directly connected to the RET, a decrease of 25.9% (138.6 GWh) in energy received from imports and an increase of 101.7% (213.1 GWh) in energy received from the RED.

During the first quarter of 2023, OTC in the RET increased by 5.1% compared to the same period in

2022, mainly as a result of unfavourable physical flows on the interconnection lines on the borders with Ukraine, Hungary and Serbia and more unfavourable weather conditions with higher rainfall, which increased corona losses. Relative to energy entering the contour, losses increased from 2.28% to 2.54%.

During the second quarter of 2023, OTC in RET increased by 11.8% compared to the same period in 2022, mainly as a result of unfavourable physical flows

on interconnection lines and more unfavourable weather conditions characterised by higher rainfall amounts, which increased corona losses. Relative to the energy entering the contour the losses increased from 2.17% to 2.54%.

In summary, over the whole of H1 2023 OTC in RET increased by 8% compared to the same period in 2022, and as a proportion of energy input the losses increased from 2.23% to 2.54%.

COMPOSITION OF THE BOARD

On the date of this report Directorate membership is the following:

Ștefăniță MUNTEANU Directorate Chairman

Bogdan TONCESCU Directorate Member
Florin-Cristian TĂTARU Directorate Member

April 2022 remained unchanged until 31 March 2023. Normally, on the basis of tariff rules issued by ANRE, the transmission tariff is revised annually on 1 January. By applying the provisions of GEO no. 27/2022, exceptionally in the first quarter of 2023 the transmission tariff set on 1 April 2022 was applied.

Transport tariff (transport service + system functional service) applied in the first quarter

component
lei/MWh 1.49 2.53 69.8%
Transmission Tariff - the electricity
extracted from the grid component
lei/MWh 22.47 25.57 13.8%

In accordance with the provisions of Article 14, paragraph (1) of GEO no. 27/2022, on 1 April 2022 ANRE included in the transmission tariff the amount of additional expenses for the acquisition of electricity necessary to cover its own technological consumption in 2021 which were generated by the significant increase in prices on the wholesale electricity market and which were not initially provided for in the tariff.

The application of these provisions has brought forward the time of adjustment of the costs of own technological consumption from 20214 compared to the standard timetable for the application of corrections provided for in the ANRE tariff rules, according to which annual corrections are applied with a delay of two years.

In view of the above, the above table shows the average tariff for the electricity transmission service, with its two components for the introduction of electricity into the grid (TG) and for the extraction of electricity from the grid (TL) approved by ANRE Order no.33/23.03.2022 and applied from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.

4 For the year 2021, compared to the value of 288.76 lei/MWh of the average electricity price for OTC coverage taken into account ex-ante

when calculating the tariff, the actual value of the average electricity price for OTC coverage recognized by ANRE was 455.28 lei/MWh.

Transport tariff applied in the second quarter (in force at the date of this report):

ANRE Order no.28/29.03.2023 approved the average tariff for the transmission service and the components of the transmission tariff for feeding electricity into the grid (TG) and for extracting electricity from the grid (TL), charged by NPG CO.Transelectrica SA, applicable from 1 April 2023:

The main factor for the increase in the average electricity transmission tariff applicable from 1 April 2023 is the additional cost component of the OTC.

This component recovers part of the additional OTC costs incurred in 2022 compared to the amount foreseen in the approved tariff for that year, according to the capitalisation mechanism established in GEO 119/2022.

This mechanism ensures that the difference between the actual OTC cost and the amount included in the tariff of the OTC cost in that year is recovered through the transmission tariff in instalments over five years.

For the year 2022, this difference is 338.5 million lei.

In 2023 the tariff will recover a first tranche of this difference of approx. 99 million lei (the amount includes the regulated return and the effect of inflation, which is added to the basic amount of 67.7 million lei).

Events occurring after the reporting period concerning the tariff for the transport service:

In accordance with the provisions of Article 105 of the Methodology for setting tariffs for the electricity transmission service, approved by ANRE Order no.171/2019, with subsequent amendments and additions, Transelectrica submitted to ANRE on 1 July 2023, the proposed values for regulated tariffs for electricity transmission activity for the tariff year 2024, as shown in the table below:

At this stage, some of the calculations underlying the proposed values in the above table are estimates. They may therefore be reviewed and revised, if necessary, at a later stage closer to the deadline for approving the tariffs.

Important:

At this stage, the calculation of the proposed tariff did not include a correction for the revenue from the allocation of interconnection capacities, a possibility provided for in the European Regulation 1854/2022 on emergency intervention to mitigate the effects of extremely high electricity prices.

The tariff for system service (formerly system
technology services), applied from January to May
2023, is shown in the table below:

The main elements leading to the reduction of the tariff applied in the period January - May 2023 compared to the tariff period 2022 are:

  • application by ANRE of the (partial) negative correction for the first half of 2022;
  • non-recognition by ANRE of the full quantities of the secondary regulation reserve requested by NPG CO. Transelectrica SA for 2023.

The tariff for the system service (formerly system technology services), effective from 1 June 2023, is shown in the table below:

The negative adjustment of the tariff as of 1 June 2023 was made on the basis of the fulfilment of the provisions of art.22 and art.23 of the Methodology for establishing the tariff for the acquisition of system services, approved by ANRE Order no.116/2022. The aforementioned articles provide as follows:

Art.22 In order to avoid the subsequent recording of a significant level of corrections due to changes in acquisition prices and/or quantities of acquired system services referred to in Article 2, the TSO is required to calculate, for the first quarter and for the first semester of a tariff period t-1 respectively, the difference between realized and forecasted revenues and costs, plus the amount of corrections not made for the previous period(s), and to submit the calculation to ANRE on 1 May and 1 August of year t-1 respectively;

Art.23 If the TSO finds that the value determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 22 shows a variation of more than 5% of the forecast revenue for the same period, it is has the obligation to submit to ANRE the request for revision of the tariff for the acquisition of system services, which will include the value determined in accordance with the provisions of Article 22, valid until the end of the tariff period.

Thus, following the interim verification at the end of the first quarter of 2023 of the situation of costs and revenues related to the system services activity, ANRE has adjusted accordingly the amount of the tariff starting from 1 June 2023.

Events after the reporting period relating to the tariff for the system service:

Also based on the provisions of the above articles, on 1 August 2023, NPG CO. Transelectrica SA has the obligation to submit to ANRE the interim verification for the first half of 2023 of significant deviations from the forecast values of the costs and revenues situation.

This analysis found that there was a very small deviation from the approved forecast of the financial result for this period (difference between revenue and expenses) in the first half of 2023, resulting in a calculated (hypothetical) applied tariff value from 1 September 2023 which is very close to the actual applied tariff value from 1 June 2023.

Accordingly, Transelectrica's proposal is that the tariff should be maintained at the value approved and in force on 1 June 2023.

Once submitting the receivable statement under RAAN's bankruptcy procedure Transelectrica SA can resort to the provisions of article 52 from Law 85/2006, applicable to RAAN's bankruptcy procedure, provisions resumed in article 90 of Law 85/2014 on the creditor's right to invoke compensation for its receivables with its debtors to it, whenever the lawprovided conditions for legal compensation are complied with on the procedure opening date. Transelectrica SA was recoded with 11,264,777 Lei in the table of debtor RAAN, in the category of receivables resulting from the debtor's uninterrupted activity. The actual amount the Company requested was 89,360,986 Lei, but 78,096,208.76 Lei were not registered in the preliminary receivable table because "such sum was not recorded as owed liability in RAAN's accounting books". Moreover, the judiciary liquidator considered the request to record 78,096,209 Lei was made late since it pertained to 2011 - 2013, for which reason the receivable statement should have been submitted when the insolvency procedure began, namely on 18.09.2013.

Since only a part of the total amount requested by Transelectrica in quantum of 89,360,986.06 Lei was registered and according to letter 4162/03.10.2016 whereby the judiciary liquidator notified us only 11,264,777.30 Lei were recorded in the additional table in the receivables column resulting from the debtor's continued activity, and 78,096,208.76 Lei were denied. We filed contestation to the Additional receivable table within the legal term.

On the hearing term 14.02.2019 Mehedinti Tribunal decided joining file 9089/101/2013/a152 and file 9089/101/2013/a140 (pertaining to claims – payment request). File judgment was postponed because the court deemed it useful for case settlement to submit Civil ruling 2969/26.09.2018, pronounced by the High Court for Cassation and Justice under file 3014/2/2014, pertaining to cancelling Decision 743/2014 of ANRE president.

Settlement of Mehedinti Tribunal: "It admits the exception of decline. It partly admits the main issue and associated contestation. It compels defendant RAAN to pay to claimant Transelectrica the amount of 16,950,117.14 Lei as liability accrued during the procedure, judging to record it in the creditors' table constituted against debtor RAAN. The other associated requests are denied. In accordance with article 453 para 2 from the Civil Procedural Code it compels the defendant to pay 1000 Lei law court expenses to the claimant. Appeal right is granted. It was pronounced on 20.06.2019 at public hearing. Document: Ruling 163/2019 / 20.06.2019.

Transelectrica filed appeal within the legal term. The Appeal Court Craiova established the first hearing term on 30.10.2019. The appeal was denied as groundless. Transelectrica filed review request for contradictory decisions, registered under file 1711/54/2019, with hearing term on 26.03.2020 at the Appeal Court Craiova, which will refer the file to the High Court for Cassation and Justice for competent settlement.

On 26.03.2020, the hearing term was changed and the next one was set on 21.05.2020.

On the 03.02.2021 hearing term ICCJ admitted the exception of tardive review request and did not pronounce on its inadmissibility.

There are four more files between RAAN and Transelectrica found under various judgment stages.

Under RAAN's bankruptcy file registered under number 9089/101/2013 Mehedinti Tribunal deferred the case on the terms 08.10.2020 and 04.02.2021. Settlement in brief: term was granted to continue the liquidation procedures, to represent the debtor's interests in the disputes found on the docket of law courts; to consolidate the creditors' table, to continue measures in view of recovering receivables and further public bids in order to capitalise the debtor's assets.

On the 14.10.2021 term the case was deferred and the settlement in brief was: "it granted term to continue the procedure, namely to capitalise the assets and carry out the other liquidation activities".

The case is adjourned to 10.02.2022, the summary decision being: for the conduct of the procedure, i.e. the recovery of assets, the collection of claims and the performance of other liquidation operations. the parties will be summoned by the BPI" and the next hearing is set for 02.06.2022.

The proceedings were continued at the hearing of 09.02.2023, when the court granted an adjournment until 15 June 2023 for the continuation of the proceedings, i.e. for the collection of claims, the valuation of assets and the performance of other liquidation operations.

The following hearing set in this case is 15.10.2023.

CNTEE Transelectrica SA concluded with CET Govora SA an agreement to compensate and spread out the payment of amounts representing receivables from the 2011-2013 overcompensation and the 2014 undue bonus (Agreement C 135/30.06.2015 and Addendum 1/04.08.2015). The Agreement term was about 1 year (July 2015-August 2016) and it provided the Company's right to calculate and cash penalties during payment spread-out.

In accordance with such Agreement the Company's receivables collectable from CET Govora SA were compensated with its liabilities to CET Govora SA, represented by cogeneration bonus for May 2014 – October 2015 amounting to 40,507,669, withheld by applying the provisions of article 17 para 5 of ANRE President's Order 116/2013 and the Agreement provisions, in the amount of 40,507,669.

Since ANRE Decision 738/28.03.2014 which had determined the 2011-2013 overcompensation was suspended by court civil judgment 3185/27.11.2015 CET Govora SA had no longer complied with its obligations under the Agreement terms.

Beginning with 9 May 2016 the general insolvency procedure was initiated for CET Govora. In view of recovering the receivables accrued before opening the insolvency procedure the Company followed the specific procedures specified by the Insolvency Law 85/2014 and requested the court to admit its receivables, as per legal provisions. Taking into account the above, beginning with 9 May 2016 the Company ceased applying the provisions of article 17.5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE President approving the Regulation establishing the collection mode of the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration and the bonus payment for electricity generated by high efficiency cogeneration and paid monthly the cogeneration bonus to CET Govora.

Civil ruling 2430/05.10.2016 of the High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the appeal filed by ANRE against civil ruling 3185/27.11.2015, partly cancelled the sentence appealed against and denied the suspension request of CET Govora, such decision being final. Thus, beginning with 05.10.2016 the effects of ANRE Decision 738/28.03.2014 are no longer suspended, bearing full effects.

Under such circumstances the Company applies the provisions of article 17 para 5 of ANRE Order 116/ 2013 for mutual receivables and liabilities occurred after the insolvency procedure, namely withholding the bonus due to CET Govora SA up to the concurrence of amounts related to the support scheme that were not paid to the Company. Transelectrica was registered in the Preliminary and final receivables table with total amount of 28,200,440.31, of which 25,557,189.98 relate to the support scheme. Mention should be made this receivable amounting to 21,962,243.71 Lei representing principal and penalties related to invoice 8116/08.04.2016, was registered under the suspensive condition of pronouncement of a final juridical ruling in favour of ANRE under file 2428/2/2014 on the docket of the Bucharest Court of Appeal, pertaining to cancelling ANRE decision 738/28.03.2014.

On 18.07.2018 Valcea Tribunal pronounced the following settlement:

  • It confirmed the reorganisation plan of Co. CET Govora SA proposed by the judiciary administrator EURO INSOL SPRL, submitted on 25 May 2018 to the file and printed in the Bulletin of Insolvency Procedures 11924 of 13 June 2018. - - It denied the contestations submitted by creditors Energy Complex Oltenia SA, SNTFM CFR Marfa SA, Solek Project Delta SRL, Solek Project Omega SRL, Clean Energy Alternativ SRL and Solar Electric Curtisoara SRL.

  • It set 8 October 2018 as substantial term to continue the procedure.

public hearing of 18 July 2018; Document: Ruling 1196/18.07.2018.

Ruling 766/03.12.2018 of the Appeal Court Pitesti cancelled the amount of 28,013,984.83 representing a liability the Company registered in the Creditors'Table (File 1396/90/2016).

Under such circumstances the Company included the amount of 22,188,224.16 from the support scheme in the sundry debtors' account, which is analytically distinct - ANRE, and impacts the net position of the support scheme.

The amount of 22,188,224.16 represents receivable to be cashed from CET Govora under the support scheme amounting to 25,557,189.98, corrected with the bonus of 3,368,965.82 the Company withheld according to article 17 para 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE President.

On 25.03.2022, by Government Decision no. 409/2022, it was adopted the amendment and completion of Government Decision no. 1215/2009 on the establishment of criteria and conditions necessary for the implementation of the support scheme for the promotion of high efficiency cogeneration based on useful heat demand. Thus, the period of application of the support scheme is extended until 2033, exclusively for producers who meet the conditions for accessing the extension of the support scheme.

At the same time, the financial closure of the support scheme, which will take place in the first half of 2034, is extended.

Down payments to suppliers

As at 30 June 2023, down payments paid to suppliers are represented by debtor suppliers for services rendered in the amount of 79,959,271 and represent mainly amounts from transactions related to the price coupling mechanism (ICP - Interim Coupling Project, SIDC - Single Intraday Coupling and SDAC - Single Day-ahead Coupling) (52,848,824 - for ICP and SDAC and 25,367,131 - for SIDC).

The price coupling mechanism was applied beginning with 19 November 2014, date when the '4 Markets Market Coupling (4MMC)' project providing connection of the DAM (day-ahead electricity markets) from Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia became operational. Such price coupling mechanism of day-ahead markets means the electricity exchanges correlate the electricity transactions for the following day based on bids, taking into account the interconnection capacity made available by the TSO, whereby it is implicitly allocated. CNTEE Transelectrica SA as TSO transfers electricity both in physical and commercial terms to the neighbouring TSO (MAVIR, Hungary) and manages the congestion revenues on the respective interconnection (article 139 from ANRE Order 82/2014), and in relation to OPCOM SA it is Implicit Participant to the Day-Ahead Market.

In its capacity of Transfer Agent and Implicit Participant CNTEE Transelectrica SA has the commercial task to settle the electricity transacted between OPCOM SA and MAVIR.

On 19 November 2019 On 19 November 2019 the 2nd wave was launched under the single European intraday markets coupling (SIDC – Single Intraday Coupling), with first deliveries on 20 November. Seven countries: Bulgaria, Croatia,

Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovenia joined the fourteen states: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden that have been already operating under coupled regime since June 2018.

The single intraday coupling mechanism provides uninterrupted matching of sale and purchase offers made by market participants from a bidding zone with the sale and purchase offers from within one's own bidding zone and from any other bidding zone with available cross-border capacity.

In its capacity of Transfer Agent CNTEE Transelectrica SA has the commercial task to settle the electricity transacted between OPCOM SA, MAVIR and IBEX.

28 October 2021 marks the start of the new successful SDAC Single Day-ahead Coupling, the result of cooperation between the Designated Electricity Market Operators (DEMO) and the Transmission System Operators (TSO) of Bulgaria and Romania, namely IBEX EAD, OPCOM SA, ESO EAD and CNTEE Transelectrica SA. The aim of the SDAC is to create a single pan-European cross-border day-ahead energy market. An integrated day-ahead market increases the overall efficiency of trading by promoting effective competition, increasing liquidity and enabling more efficient use of generation resources across Europe.

In its capacity of transfer agent for Romania's bidding zone, CNTEE Transelectrica SA has the task to settle the energy transacted between OPCOM SA and IBEX.

The launch of Flow Based Market Coupling in the Core region on 08 June 2022 represented the transition from the ICP - Interim Coupling Project coupling mechanism to FBMC - Flow Based Market Coupling, optimising the European electricity market for 13 countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

In the FBMC project, Transelectrica has the role of both Shipper (Transfer Agent) and CCP - Central Counterparty. As CCP, the Company has the task of transferring the financial flows generated by the electricity flows, following the coupling process.

Allowances for impairment of trade receivables, doubtful trade receivables and other doubtful receivables

Transelectrica's policy is to record impairment adjustments for loss of value in the amount of 100% for customers in litigation, insolvency and bankruptcy and 100% of trade and other receivables not collected within a period of more than 180 days, excluding outstanding receivables arising from the support scheme. The Company also carries out an individual analysis of trade and other receivables outstanding.

The highest impairment adjustments on 30 June 2023, calculated for trade receivables and associated penalties, were registered for CET Govora (25,075,024), Eco Energy SRL (24,736,066), Petprod SRL (23.539,650), Arelco Power (14,788,022), Total Electric Oltenia SA (14,185,577), Romenergy Industry (13,512,997), Romelectro SA (13,429,126), Elsaco Energy (9,276,118), RAAN (8,516,707), Next Energy Partners SRL (8,395,132).

10. Trade and other liabilities

On 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022, trade and other liabilities were as follows:

30 June 2023 31 December 2022
Suppliers on the electricity market 703,610,572 1,956,548,071
Suppliers of assets 121,655,755 138,804,943
Suppliers of other activities 69,160,316 55,020,130
Amounts owed to employees 10,117,090 9,111,008
Other liabilities 820,483,031 1,235,969,189
Total 1,725,026,764 3,395,453,341

On 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022, the liabilities on balance from the electricity market amounting to 703,610,572 and 1,956,548,071 respectively, have the following structure:

30 June 2023 31 December 2022
Suppliers on the electricity market, of which:
- suppliers - operational activity 374,393,521 1,336,902,867
- suppliers - balancing market 301,140,462 583,097,756
- suppliers - bonus type support scheme for
promotion of high-efficiency cogeneration
28,076,589 36,547,448
Total 703,610,572 1,956,548,071

The suppliers on the electricity market are mainly represented by OPCOM, MAVIR, IBEX, Hidroelectrica SA, Joint Allocation Office, S Complexul energetic Oltenia SA, CIGA Energy SA, Electrica Furnizare SA, CINTA Energy SA, OMV Petrom SA. As of 30 June 2023, their share in the total number of electricity suppliers was 95.80%.

The decrease in the liability balance for operational activities was mainly due to the payment in the first half of 2023 of the payment liabilities outstanding on 31 December 2022, mainly resulting from the coupling of electricity markets.

The decrease in the liability balance of the balancing market was determined by the decrease in the volume of transactions recorded on the balancing market in the first half of 2023 compared to the second half of 2022.

The decrease in of liabilities related to the support scheme to suppliers (producers) was mainly determined by the decrease in the monthly bonus for high efficiency cogeneration from June 2023 to December 2022.

On 30 June 2023, there are payment obligations to suppliers (producers) in the amount of 27,120,145 (RAAN - 23,751,179 and CET Govora SA - 3,368,966), representing the monthly cogeneration bonus, the ex-ante overcompensation for 2014 and 2015, and the bonus not paid in 2015. 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, because suppliers (producers) registered payment liabilities to the Company under the bonus type support scheme.

The company requested the suppliers (producers) that did not pay the overcompensation invoices their agreement to compensate mutual liabilities at minimum level by means of the Institute of Management and Informatics (IMI) which uniformly manages all information received from tax-payers according to the provisions of GD no. 773/2019.

The Producers (RAAN and CET Govora) did not agree with this manner of extinguishing mutual receivables and liabilities, therefore the Company has applied and further applies article 17 para 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE president approving the Regulation establishing the collection mode of the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration and bonus payment for electricity generated under high efficiency cogeneration: "in case the generator did not make the payment in full to the support scheme administrator of its payment liabilities resulted in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation, the support scheme administrator pays to the producer the difference between the producer invoices and its payment liabilities under the support scheme, with explicit mention of the respective amounts on the payment document" and withheld from payment the due amounts under the respective support scheme.

CNTEE Transelectrica SA concluded with CET Govora SA a compensation agreement to spread out the payment of amounts representing receivables from the 2011-2013 overcompensation and the 2014 undue bonus (Agreement C 135/30.06.2015 and Addendum 1/04.08.2015). The Agreement term was of 1 year (July 2015-August 2016) and provided the Company's right to calculate and collect penalties during payment spread-out.

CNTEE Transelectrica SA Notes to the stand-alone interim financial statements on 30 June 2023 (All amounts are expressed in LEI unless otherwise provided)

In accordance with such Agreement the Company's receivables collectable from CET Govora SA were compensated with its liabilities to CET Govora SA, represented by cogeneration bonus for May 2014 – October 2015 amounting to 40,507,669, withheld by applying the provisions of article 17 para 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE President and the Agreement provisions.

Since ANRE Decision no. 738/28.03.2014 was suspended by court civil ruling 3185/27.11.2015, which had determined the 2011-2013 overcompensation, CET Govora SA had no longer complied with the Agreement terms. Beginning with 9 May 2016 the general insolvency procedure was initiated for CET Govora. Taking into account the provisions of the Insolvency Law 85/2014 the Company ceased, beginning with 9 May 2016, to apply the provisions of article 17.5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE President approving the Regulation establishing the collection mode of the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration and the payment mode of the bonus for electricity generated under high efficiency cogeneration and pays monthly the cogeneration bonus owed to CET Govora. Civil ruling 2430/05.10.2016 of the High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the appeal filed by ANRE against civil ruling 3185/27.11.2015, partly cancelled the sentence appealed against and denied the suspension request of CET Govora, such decision being final. Thus, beginning with 05.10.2016 the effects of ANRE Decision no. 738/28.03.2014 are no longer suspended, bearing full effects.

Under such circumstances the Company applies the provisions of article 17 para 5 of ANRE Order 116/2013 for mutual receivables and liabilities accrued after the insolvency procedure, meaning it withheld the bonus due to CET Govora SA up to the concurrence of amounts related to the support scheme that were not paid to the Company.

The decrease of the asset suppliers' balance on 30 June 2023 compared to 31 December 2022 was mainly owed to payments falling due.

Liabilities to the suppliers of other activities are mainly represented by liabilities associated to services provided by third parties that did not reach maturity, which have increased in comparison with 31 December 2022.

On 30 June 2023, the Company did not register outstanding liabilities to suppliers (state budget, local budget or other public institutions).

Other revenues 18,033,948 12,413,710
Total revenues 1,091,944,171 1,373,621,743

Revenue from transmission services

Revenues from transmission service increased in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 by 28,378,175, due to the increase in the average tariff for transmission service approved by ANRE (see the table on tariffs approved by ANRE for the period under review, presented above), in the context of the decrease in the amount of electricity delivered to consumers by 4.72%, i.e. by 592,136 MWh.

Revenue from the allocation of interconnection capacities

Revenue from the allocation of interconnection capacities increased in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022 by 21,670,278, corresponding to the level of usage of available interconnection capacities by traders in the electricity market.

The market for the allocation of interconnection capacity is fluctuating, with prices changing according to demand and the need for electricity market participants to acquire interconnection capacity. The increase over the period under review is due both to the unit price of electricity which has increased across the European Union, leading to a large price differential between the coupled markets, and to the European energy shortage. Implicit allocations, where capacity and energy are provided for simultaneously, are strongly influenced by variations in the price of electricity on European exchanges.

Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) revenues

In the second quarter of 2023, the revenue recorded as a result of the application of the ITC Mechanism increased by 1,536,435 compared to the second quarter of 2022. These revenues mainly come from scheduled electricity exchanges with perimeter countries (countries not part of the ITC Mechanism), i.e. Ukraine and Moldova. Starting from 01.09.2022, the tariff for exchanges with perimeter countries changed from 0.6 EUR/MWh to 1.2 EUR/MWh, which led to an increase in revenues compared to the same period last year.

Revenues from CPT transactions

Energy trading revenues for CPT were mainly derived from the sale of excess electricty, resulting as the difference between the long-term and medium-term forecast and the short-term forecast on the Intraday Market administered by OPCOM and as the difference between the forecast CPT and the actual CPT achieved on the Balancing Market, respectively. These revenues were higher in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022 by 3,123,436.

CNTEE Transelectrica SA Notes to the stand-alone interim financial statements on 30 June 2023 (All amounts are expressed in LEI unless otherwise provided)

In the structure of these revenues, transactions on the Intraday Market were lower than in the previous year, as a large part of the required CPT was acquired on the long-term markets through the Centralised Electricity Purchase Mechanism (CEPA) and bilateral contracts, and prices on the short-term markets decreased compared to the previous year, with negative price intervals, while transactions on the Balancing Market were higher than in the previous year, due to the delegation of balancing responsibility to another PRE from June 2022, as well as due to the fact that several intervals with negative balancing prices were recorded.

Revenues from technological system services

Revenues from technological system services decreased in the second quarter of 2023 compared to the second quarter of 2022 by 29,068,835, due both to the decrease in the tariff approved by ANRE for these services (according to the previously provided table with ANRE-approved tariffs in the periodsunder review) and to the reduction in the quantity of electricity delivered to consumers by 4.72%, i.e. by 592,136 MWh.

Revenues from emergency aid

In Q II 2023, revenue from emergency aids in the amount of 3,553,482 was registered. The emergency aid was granted to Ukraine, as a result of the damage to the country's energy infrastructure caused by armed conflicts.

Revenue on the balancing market

Revenues on the balancing market decreased in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022 by 320,095,099, mainly due to the following:

  • national regulations on the electricity market, namely GEO No 153 of 11 November 2022 for the amendment and completion of GEO No 27/2022 on measures applicable to final customers in the electricity and natural gas market for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, as well as for the amendment and completion of certain regulatory acts in the field of energy and the amendment of GEO No 119/2022 for the amendment and completion of GEO No 27/2022 on measures applicable to final customers in the electricity and natural gas market for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, as well as for the amendment and completion of certain regulatory acts in the field of energy;
  • European legislative regulations on the energy market;
  • the energy market developments at European and regional level;
  • the contracting method in pre-balancing markets;
  • the evolution of hydropower and wind generation;
  • the evolution of electricity production and consumption;
  • the evolution of the negative/positive imbalance of electricity suppliers in the balancing market;
  • the evolution of the average price recorded on the balancing market.

Revenue from transmission service

Revenues from the transmission service increased in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022 by 53,704,796, due to the increase in the average tariff for the transmission service approved by ANRE (according to the previously provided table with ANRE-approved tariffs in the periods under review), while the quantity of electricity delivered to consumers decreased by 7.18%, i.e. by 1,932,045 MWh.

Revenue from the allocation of interconnection capacities

Revenue from the allocation of interconnection capacities increased in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 by 54,338,428, corresponding to the level of usage of available interconnection capacities by traders in the electricity market.

The market for the allocation of interconnection capacities is fluctuating, with prices changing according to demand and the need for electricity market participants to acquire interconnection capacities. The increase in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 is due to both the unit price of electricity which has increased across the European Union, leading to a large price differential between the coupled markets, and the European energy shortage. Implicit allocations, where capacity and energy are foreseen simultaneously, are strongly influenced by electricity price variations on European exchanges.

The mechanism for allocating interconnection capacities consists of annual, monthly, daily and intra-day bids. Bids on the Romania-Serbia border, long-term bids on the borders with Hungary and Bulgaria and daily bids on the border with Moldova are explicit - only transmission capacity is bided, while daily (borders with Hungary and Bulgaria) and intra-day (borders with Hungary and Bulgaria) bids are implicit - they are allocated simultaneously with energy and capacity through the coupling mechanism.

Notes to the stand-alone interim financial statements on 30 June 2023 (All amounts are expressed in LEI unless otherwise provided)

On 8 June 2022, the Core FB MC (Core Flow-Based Market Coupling) project went live, thus initiating day-ahead flowbased market coupling in the Core capacity calculation region. The flow-based market coupling mechanism optimises the European electricity market for 13 countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia).

As of 27 October 2021, the Romania-Bulgaria border has been integrated into the Single Day-Ahead Market Coupling (SDAC), with cross-border capacity between Romania and Bulgaria allocated by default.

As of November 2019, the 2nd wave of the Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC) European Single Intraday Market Coupling solution has been launched. The Single Intraday Market Coupling mechanism ensures the seamless matching of bids and offers of market participants in one bidding zone with bids and offers from within its own bidding zone and from any other bidding zone where cross-border capacity is available. Thus, explicit intraday bids are only on the border with Serbia, and implicit intraday bids (within the SIDC) on the borders with Bulgaria and Hungary.

The use of net revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacities is carried out in accordance with the provisions of ANRE Order No 171/2019 and Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of 5 June 2019 on the internal market in electricity, as a source of financing investments for the modernisation and development of interconnection capacity with neighbouring systems.

Extending market coupling has the effect of levelling the price of energy in Europe, which is also one of the main objectives of Regulation (EU) 2015/1222 "laying down guidelines on capacity allocation and congestion management".

Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) revenues

Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) revenues were higher in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 by 1,747,640. This revenue comes mainly from scheduled electricity exchanges with perimeter countries (countries that are not part of the ITC mechanism), i.e. Ukraine and Moldova. ȊStarting from 01.09.2022, the tariff for exchanges with perimeter countries changed from 0.6 EUR/MWh to 1.2 EUR/MWh, which led to an increase in revenue compared to the same period last year. In addition, trade with Ukraine was severely reduced in February and March 2022 due to the outbreak of armed conflict in the region, and trade with Moldova only started in October 2022.

Revenues from CPT transactions

Energy trading revenues for CPT were higher in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 by 10,207,072. These revenues come from the sale of surplus energy, resulting as the difference between the long and medium-term forecast and the short-term forecast on the Intraday Market administered by OPCOM and as the difference between forecast CPT and actual CPT on the Balancing Market, respectively.

In the structure of these revenues, transactions on the Intraday Market were lower than in the previous year, as a large part of the required CPT was acquired on the long-term markets through the MACEE mechanism and bilateral contracts, and prices on the short-term markets decreased compared to the previous year, with negative price intervals, while transactions on the Balancing Market were higher than in the previous year, due to the delegation of balancing responsibility to another ERP as of June 2022, as well as due to the fact that several negative balancing price intervals were recorded.

Revenues from technological system services

Revenues from technological system services decreased by 62,477,936 in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022, due both to the decrease in the tariff approved by ANRE for these services (according to the previously provided table with ANRE-approved tariffs in the periods under review) and to the reduction in the quantity of electricity delivered to consumers by 7.18%, i.e. by 1,932,045 MWh.

For the activity of technological system services, the specific regulatory framework for this activity contains regularisation mechanisms that ensure compensation for the excess or shortfall of revenue in relation to the level of expenditure required to carry out the activity. Thus, according to ANRE regulations, the surplus/deficit of revenue compared to the recognised costs resulting from the performance of this activity is compensated by ex-post tariff correction (negative/positive correction) applied by ANRE in the tariff in the years following the year in which the surplus/deficit was recorded. The surplus/deficit of revenue over the costs resulting from the performance of this activity is calculated per tariff scheduling period.

Revenues from emergency aid

In May and June 2023, the Company provided emergency aid to Serbia and Ukraine. Thus, in the first half of 2023, revenues from emergency aid in the amount of 3,553,482 was registered.

Revenue on the balancing market

Revenues on the balancing market decreased in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 by 477,214,968, mainly due to the following:

  • national regulations on the electricity market, namely GEO No 153 of 11 November 2022 for the amendment and completion of GEO No 27/2022 on measures applicable to final customers in the electricity and natural gas market for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, as well as for the amendment and completion of certain regulatory acts in the field of energy and the amendment of GEO No 119/2022 for the amendment and completion of GEO No 27/2022 on measures applicable to final customers in the electricity and natural gas market for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, as well as for the amendment and completion of certain regulatory acts in the field of energy;
  • European legislative regulations on the energy market;
  • energy market developments at European and regional level;
  • the contracting method in pre-balancing markets;
  • the evolution of hydropower and wind generation;
  • the evolution of electricity production and consumption;
  • the evolution of the negative/positive imbalance of electricity suppliers in the balancing market;
  • the evolution of the average price recorded on the balancing market.

765,945,546 1,139,790,519

Expenses regarding own technological consumption

This represents expenses on the acquisition of electricity from the free energy market to cover own technological consumption in the electricity transmission network and was lower in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022 by 64,865,261, taking into account a number of aspects, as follows:

  • Given its characteristic features, the Own Technological Consumption (CPT) in the Electricity Transmission Network (RET) strongly depends on meteorological conditions, the structure of electricity generation and consumption at national level, the distribution of electricity flows in the internal transmission network and on the interconnection lines with neighbouring power systems, and its value is very little to not controllable in an interconnected and coupled regional power market;
  • following the provisions of GEO no. 153/2022, CNTEE Transelectrica SA purchased electricity to cover 75% of the quantity related to the CPT forecast validated by the Centralised Electricity Purchase Mechanism (MACEE);
  • measures taken at European level to make energy consumption more efficient, the replacement of Russian gas, the reduction in demand in the industrial area and the increase in the share of wind energy, in the context of an atypically warm winter, have led to a fall both in the consumption of quantities traded on the short-term markets and in energy prices on these markets.

Congestion expenses

Congestions (grid constraints) are requests for transmission of electricity beyond the technical capacity limits of the grid, requiring corrective action by the transmission system operator, and occur when, during scheduling or real-time operation, the movement of power between two nodes or system areas leads to non-compliance with safety parameters in the operation of an electricity system.

In the second quarter of 2023, congestion charges of 88,286 were incurred. Following the tripping of Trafo 1 - 250 MVA, 400/110 kV in Tariverde station, in order to avoid overload operation of Trafo 2 - 250 MVA, 400/110 kV and Trafo 3 - 250 MVA, 400/110 kV, power reductions were ordered at the Dispatchable Units connected in Tariverde station.

Expenses on electricity consumption in RET substations

In order to carry out the electricity transmission activity in the substations and to operate the National Electricity System in safe conditions, CNTEE Transelectrica SA must purchase electricity to cover the consumption related to internal services in the high-voltage substations under the management of the Company.

This expenses increased by 5,535,632 in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022, mainly due to higher electricity acquisition prices.

Expenses on Inter TSO Compensation (ITC)

ITC expenses are the monthly payment liabilities/collection expenses for each transmission system operator (TSO) and are determined under the mechanism for compensation/discount of the effects of the use of the electricity transmission network (RET) for electricity transits between TSOs of countries that have joined this mechanism under ENTSO-E. In Q2 2023, these expenses were 2,414,229 higher than in the same period of the previous year.

Expenses regarding technological system services

Expenses on technology system services increased in Q2 2023 compared to Q2 2022 by 11,569,227.

Technological system services are acquired by the Company from producers in order to ensure the maintenance of the safe operation of the SEN and the quality of the electricity transmitted at the parameters required by the technical standards in force, based on the needs established by the National Energy Dispatcher who is responsible for ensuring the stability and safety of the SEN operation.

The acquisition of system technology services shall be carried out on a competitive basis through daily tenders in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019.

In the second quarter of 2023, CNTEE Transelectrica SA contracted Reactive Energy from Hidroelectrica S.A. (the only supplier qualified to provide this service), according to the achievements confirmed by the National Energy Dispatcher, at the price set by ANRE Decision no.1078 of 29.06.2020.

Balancing market expenses

The balancing market expenses of 509,286,041 in Q2 2023 was 328,492,577 lower than in Q2 2022. These expenses result from the notifications/achievements of participants in this market.

The evolution of electricity production and consumption at national level and the European context of the evolution of the electricity market, the way in which the contracting on the pre-balancing market was carried out, had and will continue to have a significant impact on the evolution of revenues/costs on the balancing market.

Semester I of 2023 compared to Semester I of 2022

Expenses in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2021 were as follows:

Semester I 2023 Semester I 2022

Total 1,554,961,996 2,191,722,136

Expenses on own technological consumption

This represents expenses on the acquisition of electricity from the free electricity market, i.e. the Centralised Bilateral Contract Market (CBMP), the Day-ahead Market (DMP), the Balancing Market (BE) and the Intraday Market (IP) to cover own technology consumption (OTC) in the electricity transmission network (RET).

Expenses on own technology consumption was lower by 172,981,867 in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022, due to a number of issues as follows:

  • given its characteristic features, the Own Technological Consumption (CPT) in the Electricity Transmission Network (RET) strongly depends on meteorological conditions, the structure of electricity generation and consumption at national level, the distribution of electricity flows in the internal transmission network and on the interconnection lines with neighbouring power systems, and its value is very little if at all controllable in an interconnected and coupled regional power market;
  • following the provisions of GEO no. 153/2022, CNTEE Transelectrica SA acquired electricity to cover 75% of the quantity related to the CPT forecast validated by the Centralised Electricity Purchase Mechanism (MACEE);
  • Measures taken at European level to make energy consumption more efficient, the replacement of Russian gas, the reduction of demand in the industrial area, and the increase in the share of wind energy, in the context of an atypically warm winter, led to a decrease in the consumption of quantities traded on the short-term markets by more than 35% and in energy prices on these markets. Thus, the average price of energy purchased on the DAM in the first half of the year was around 50% lower than in the same period of 2022, while remaining higher than in previous years.

Congestion expenses

In the first half of 2023, congestion expenses of 88,286 were incurred. Following the tripping of Trafo 1 - 250 MVA, 400/110 kV in Tariverde station, in order to avoid overload operation of Trafo 2 - 250 MVA, 400/110 kV and Trafo 3 - 250 MVA, 400/110 kV, power reductions were ordered to the Dispersible Units connected in Tariverde station.

Expenses on electricity consumption in RET stations

This expenses increased by 4,828,745 in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022, due to the increase in electricity acquisition prices.

In order to carry out the electricity transmission activity in the substations and to operate the National Electricity System in safe conditions, CNTEE Transelectrica SA must acquire electricity to cover the consumption related to internal services in the high-voltage substations under the management of the Company.

Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) expenses

ITC expenses are the monthly payment liabilities/collection expenses for each transmission system operator (TSO) and are determined under the mechanism for compensation/discount of the effects of the use of the electricity transmission network (RET) for electricity transits between TSOs of countries that have joined this mechanism under ENTSO-E. In semester I of 2023, this expense was 9,350,651 higher than in the same period last year.

Expenses on technological system services

Technological system services are acquired by the Company from producers in order to ensure the maintenance of the safe operation of the SEN and the quality of the electricity transmitted at the parameters required by the technical standards in force, based on the needs established by the National Energy Dispatcher who is responsible for ensuring the stability and safety of the SEN operation.

The contracting of these services is carried out both in a competitive and regulated regime (based on the decisions of the National Energy Regulatory Authority) in the case of reactive energy reserves.

The acquisition of system technology services shall be carried out on a competitive basis through daily tenders in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019.

CNTEE Transelectrica SA Notes to the stand-alone interim financial statements on 30 June 2023

(All amounts are expressed in LEI unless otherwise provided)

In the first semester of 2023, the contracting of technological system services under the regulated regime was carried out only for reactive energy, according to ANRE Decision no. 1078/2020, being provided by the Hydroelectric Power Production Company "Hidroelectrica" SA.

Expenses on technological system services in semester I of 2023 in the amount of 230,734,632 was relatively constant compared to the semester I of 2022 outturn. The acquisition prices of system services on the competitive market in semester I of 2023 remained around the values:

  • the average acquisition price of the secondary regulation reserve with the value of 79.30 lei/MWh;
  • the average acquisition price of the fast tertiary regulation reserve, at increasing power, with the value of 37.95 lei/MWh;
  • the average acquisition price of the fast tertiary regulation reserve, at power reduction, with the value of 13.67 lei/MWh.

Also, the first half of 2023 saw a high level of concentration in the system technology services market for secondary reserve (SR) system technology services.

For the next period from 2023, it is estimated that a significant impact on the evolution of costs for the purchase of system services through daily and one-way auctions, at CNTEE Transelectrica SA level, will be the evolution of ANRE's regulatory framework on the electricity market, as well as the European context of evolution of the electricity market.

Balancing market expenses

The balancing market expenses of 1,017,157,046 in semester I of 2023 was 477,708,545 lower than in semester I of 2022. These expenses result from the notifications/achievements of the participants in this market and are significantly influenced by the evolution of national electricity production and consumption, the European context of the evolution of the electricity market and the way in which the contracting in the markets prior to the balancing market was carried out.

19. Disputes and contingencies

i) Disputes in progress

Management regularly reviews the situation of ongoing disputes and, and after consulting with legal representatives decides the need to create/cancel provisions for the amounts involved or their introduction into financial statements.

Taking into account the existing information the Company's management believes there are no significant ongoing disputes in which the Company is defendant, except for the following ones:

INDEPENDENT AUTHORITY FOR NUCLEAR ACTIVITIES (RAAN)

On the docket of Mehedinti Tribunal, Civil Section II, Administrative and Fiscal Disputes Section file no. 3616/101/2014 was recorded, involving the "claims in the amount of 1,090,831.70, value of invoice no. 1300215/31.12.2013", a file in which the Company is defendant and defendant being the Autonomous Authority for Nuclear Activities RAAN.

Civil ruling 127 pronounced on 10 October 2014 by Mehedinti Tribunal admitted the request filed by defendant RAAN and ordered CNTEE Transelectrica SA to pay the amount of 1,090,831.70 Lei, the value of invoice 1300215/31.12.2013.

The Company filed appeal and requested the Law Court to decide in the ruling to be pronounced to admit the appeal as filed, to cancel the decision and sentences appealed against, refer the case to the territorial competent court for judgment, and to ascertain fulfilment of requirements from articles 1616-1617 of the Civil Code, reason for which it was also required to declare the occurrence of mutual debts compensation and their redemption up to the smallest amount among them, namely the total amount requested by the plaintiff in the application for summons, ordering the appeal - plaintiff to pay the expenses made with this appeal.

The appeal was registered on the docket of the High Court of Cassation and Justice that decided to reverse decision 843/2015 and to remand the case for retrial to the same court, the Appeal Court Craiova.

Ruling 124/2017 of the Appeal Court of Craiova admitted the appeal filed by Transelectrica and cancelled sentence 127/2014 pronounced by Mehedinti Tribunal, while the case was referred for retrial to Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI Civil. On the docket of the Bucharest Tribunal the case was registered under no. 40444/3/2017 which by civil ruling 4406/04.12.2017 admitted the request filed by RAAN and ordered Transelectrica to pay the amount of 1,090,831.70 Lei. The sentence was appealed against. The Bucharest Court of Appeal᾽s resolution: it denied the appeal as groundless; final. It was ruled in open court on 13.12.2018.

In 2014-2015 the Company withheld from payment the bonus owed to RAAN under the support scheme based on the provisions of ANRE regulations, namely article 17 para 5 of Order 116/2013 of ANRE President.

Under such circumstances RAAN calculated penalties for late payment of the due cogeneration bonus amounting to 3,496,914, withheld from the payment by the Company on account of non-cashed receivables. The Company refused paying the amount of 3,496,914 and did not register it as liability in the support scheme.

File no. 9089/101/2013/a152 pertains to contesting the additional Receivables Table against debtor RAAN, the litigated amount being 89,360,986 Lei.

Transelectrica SA was recorded in the table of debtor RAAN with only 11,264,777 Lei, under receivables resulting from continued activities of such debtor but the amount the Company requested was 89,360,986 Lei. The sum of 78,096,209 Lei was not registered in the preliminary receivables table because "it did not appear as owed amount in the accounting books of RAAN". Moreover, the judiciary liquidator considered the request to register the sum of 78,096,209 Lei in the table has been executed late as it pertained to 2011 – 2013, for which reason the receivable statement should have been made when the insolvency procedure had been instituted, namely on 18.09.2013. Contestation of the preliminary Receivables Table was submitted within the legal term and Mehedinti Tribunal admitted the accounting expertise evidence.

On the 14.06.2018 term case judgment was suspended until settlement of file no. 3014/2/2014 found on the docket of the ICCJ, and on 14.02.2019 Mehedinti Tribunal decided joining file 9089/101/2013/A152 to file 9089/101/2013/a140 (pertaining to claims – payment request). Thus, file judgment was postponed because the court considered it useful for case settlement to submit Civil ruling 2969/26.09.2018, pronounced by the High Court of Cassation and Justice under file 3014/2/2014, with respect to cancelling decision 743/2014 of ANRE President.

The settlement of Mehedinti Tribunal by Ruling 163 / 20.06.2019 was: It admitted the exception of decline. It partly admitted the main issue and associated contestation. It compelled defendant RAAN to pay to claimant Transelectrica the amount of 16,950,117.14 Lei accrued during the procedure, judging to record it in the creditors' table constituted against debtor RAAN. The other associated demands were denied. In accordance with article 453 para 2 from the Civil Procedural Code it compelled the defendant to pay 1000 Lei law court expenses to the claimant. Appeal right was granted. It was pronounced on 20.06.2019 at public hearing. Document: Ruling 163/20.06.2019.

Transelectrica appealed within the legal time limit. On the 06.11.2019 term the Appeal Court Craiova decided rejecting Transelectrica's appeal as groundless; final. Ruling 846/06.11.2019.

Transelectrica filed review request for contradictory rulings, registered under file no. 1711/54/2019 with hearing term on 25.03.2020 in the Appeal Court Craiova, which will refer the file to the High Court of Cassation and Justice for competent settlement.

On 26.03.2020 the hearing term was changed and the next one was set on 21.05.2020.

21. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the Company incurs a financial loss as a result of a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument failing to meet its contractual obligations. This risk arises mainly from trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

The treatment of counterparty risk is based on the Company's internal and external success factors. External success factors - which have an effect on risk reduction in a systematic way - are: decentralisation of the energy sector where generation, transmission, distribution and supply are distinct activities and the interface for the customer is the supplier, trading of electricity on the Romanian market in two market segments: the regulated market and the competitive market. Internal

Notes to the stand-alone interim financial statements on 30 June 2023 (All amounts are expressed in LEI unless otherwise provided)

success factors in the treatment of counterparty risk include: diversification of the customer portfolio and diversification of the number of services offered in the electricity market.

Financial assets that may subject the Company to collection risk are primarily trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Company has put in place a number of policies to ensure that the sale of services is made to customers with adequate collection by including in commercial contracts the obligation to provide financial guarantees. The amount of receivables, net of adjustments for impairment, represents the maximum amount exposed to collection risk.

The maximum exposure to collection risk at the reporting date was:

Bases of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

The accounting policies provided in detail below have been consistently applied in all time intervals submitted in these financial statements and have been consistently applied by Group entities, except for the issues shown in note 3 letter (y), which provide the changes into accounting policies.

At the date of this report Transelectrica has six subsidiaries, Romanian legal entities, organized as jointstock companies, of which it is the sole shareholder in the following: Formenerg, Teletrans, Smart, Icemenerg Service (subsidiary which at the date of this report is deregistered with the ONRC), Icemenerg SA (Institutul de Cercetări e Modernizări Energetice ICEMENERG SA - subsidiary which at the date of this report is deregistered with the ONRC).

Among the Company's subsidiaries, the Smart and Teletrans subsidiaries are included in the Group's financial consolidation perimeter.

They have not been taken into account in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements:

  • subsidiary Formenerg as according to the applicable accounting legislation, the impact of its activity is considered immaterial for consolidation purposes,
  • the subsidiary OPCOM as the management is carried out according to the regulations set by ANRE and Transelectrica does not exercise effective direct control over its decision-making mechanisms.

The FORMENERG subsidiary is a company whose main activity is the initial and continuous professional training, in all fields of activity, of personnel working in the energy sector in all sectors of the national economy and other beneficiaries, as well as hotel services, rental services and event organisation services..

FORMENERG SA was established following the Decision number 33/19.11.2001 of the General Meeting of Shareholders - "Transelectrica" S.A., by outsourcing the activity of the Branch for Training and Development of Energy Sector Personnel. The share capital on 30.06.2023 is 1,948, fully subscribed, represented by 194,842 shares with a nominal value of 10 lei each. FORMENERG shares are 100% owned by Transelectrica.

Subsidiary ICEMENERG SERVICE SA focused on the design, manufacture and distribution of metering, management and control instrumentation meant for the power system, having ISO 9001 and IQ NET certification by SRAC ROMANIA, ANRE licensed. On 09.06.2017 Bucharest Tribunal, Section VII Civil, decided the initiation of bankruptcy by simplified procedure of debtor ICEMENERG SERVICE SA, designating Solvendi SPRL as provisional judiciary liquidator.

On 27.04.2021 by address no. 18759, the Official Receiver of the ICEMENERG Service SA Branch informed that on 23.04.2021, following the tender that took place, the assets of the ICEMENERG Service SA Branch, both movable and immovable, were capitalized in block, the buyer being Portland Trust Developements Five SRL.

In file no. 18051/3/2017, according to the Insolvency Procedures Report no. 9152/26.05.2022, the Bucharest Court – VIIth Civil Section by civil sentence no. 2429 approved the final report of the trustee in bankruptcy, and based on art. 175 paragraph 2 of Law no. 85/2014 on insolvency prevention procedures and insolvency, closed the insolvency procedure against the debtor the Branch Company "Icemenerg-Service" SA by deleting it from the Bucharest Trade Register. The sentence was not communicated to the company until 30.06.2023.

The OPCOM subsidiary was set up on the basis of GD no. 627/2000 on the reorganisation of the National Electricity Company SA, as a subsidiary whose sole shareholder was Transelectrica.

In accordance with the provisions of the primary and secondary legislation in force, the Operator of the

Electricity and Natural Gas Market "OPCOM" S.A. performs the role of administrator of the electricity market, providing an organized, viable and efficient framework for the conduct of commercial transactions in the wholesale electricity market and carries out activities of administration of the centralized markets in the natural gas sector, under conditions of consistency, fairness, objectivity, independence, fairness, transparency and non-discrimination.

The fully subscribed share capital of OPCOM as at 30.06.2023 is 31,366, Transelectrica being the majority shareholder at that date. The shareholder structure is as follows:

  • NPG Transelectrica 97,84%
  • The Romanian State through the General Secretariat of the Government 2,16%.

Transelectrica does not exercise direct actual control over OPCOM"s decision-making mechanisms, since it is administered according to regulations established by ANRE. The elements provided in the IFRS International Standard 10 are specified because they need to be taken into consideration when establishing the exercise of control. Thus, in accordance with IFRS 10 an investor controls an entity if and only if it holds all the following items:

  • a. Power over the entity where the investment is
  • b. Exposure to or rights on the variable productivity from its involvement in the entity invested into
  • c. Capacity to use its power over the entity invested into to impact the investor"s profitability.

(ii) Loss of control

When losing control the Group derecognises the subsidiary"s assets and liabilities, any interest that is not controlling other components of own capitals attributable to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit resulting from loss of control is recognised in the profit or loss account. If the Group maintains any interest in its former subsidiary, then such interest is appraised at fair value from the date when control is lost onward. Subsequently such interest is accounted by the equivalence method, or as available financial asset for sale, depending on the extent of influence kept.

(iii) Transactions eliminated from consolidation

Balances and transactions performed within the Group and any unrealised revenues or expenses resulting from Group transactions are removed when elaborating the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised profits associated to transactions with affiliated entities and accounted by the equivalence method are removed as counterpart of the investment in the affiliated entity, to the extent of the Group"s interest for associated entities. Unrealised losses are eliminated similarly to unrealised gains, however only to the extent in which there are no value depreciation indexes

File 9089/101/2013/a140 was registered on the docket of Mehedinti Tribunal, Section II Civil of Administrativeand Fiscal Disputespertaining to "claims in sum of 86,513", where the Company was claimant and the Autonomous Authority for Nuclear Activities, RAAN was the defendant.

The summons filed by Transelectrica SA requested compelling defendant RAAN to pay 86,513.

On 19.05.2016 Mehedinti Tribunal, Section II Civil of Administrative and Fiscal Disputes pronounced hearing conclusion and ordered as follows: "In accordance with article 413 pt. 1 Civil Procedural Code decides suspending the case until settlement of file 3014/2/2014 found on the docket of the High Court for Cassation and Justice. Appeal right is valid during the entire suspension term; pronounced on 19 May 2016 at public hearing"; hearing term on 06.06.2019. Mention should be made file 3014/2/2014 on the docket of the High Court for Cassation and Justice pertained to appeal in order to cancel ANRE Decision 743/28.03.2014, the parties being RAAN (claimant) and ANRE (defendant).

Mention should be also made the hearing conclusion of 18.09.2013 issued by Mehedinti Tribunal under file 9089/101/2013 pronounced opening the general insolvency procedure against debtor Autonomous Authority for Nuclear Activities RA (RAAN).

Sentence 387/20.03.2014 of Mehedinti Tribunal confirmed the reorganisation plan of debtor Autonomous Authority for Nuclear Activities, proposed by the judiciary administrator Tudor&Asociatii SPRL and voted by the General Assembly of Creditors according to the minutes of 28.02.2014.

By the intermediate ruling 10/28.01.2016 pronounced by Mehedinti Tribunal, Section II Civil of Administrative and Fiscal Disputes, the syndic judge decided initiating the debtor"s bankruptcy procedure based on article 107 para 1 let. C of Law 85/2006, as well as breaking up the debtor and cancelling its administration right.

Ruling 563/14.06.2016 of the Appeal Court Craiova, Section II Civil denied the appeals filed against the intermediate ruling 10/28.01.2016 pronounced by Mehedinti Tribunal, Section II Civil of Administrative and Fiscal Disputes.

Once submitting the receivable statement under RAAN"s bankruptcy procedure Transelectrica SA can resort to the provisions of article 52 from Law 85/2006, applicable to RAAN"s bankruptcy procedure, provisions resumed in article 90 of Law 85/2014 on the creditor"s right to invoke compensation for its receivables with its debtors to it, whenever the law-provided conditions for legal compensation are complied with on the procedure opening date. Transelectrica SA was recoded with 11,265 in the table of debtor RAAN, in the category of receivables resulting from the debtor"s uninterrupted activity. The actual amount the Company requested was 89,361, but 78,096 were not registered in the preliminary receivable table because "such sum was not recorded as owed liability in RAAN"s accounting books". Moreover, the judiciary liquidator considered the request to record 78,096 was made late since it pertained to 2011 - 2013, for which reason the receivable statement should have been submitted when the insolvency procedure began, namely on 18.09.2013.

Since only a part of the total amount requested by Transelectrica in quantum of 89,361 was registered and according to letter 4162/03.10.2016 whereby the judiciary liquidator notified us only 11,265 were recorded in the additional table in the receivables column resulting from the debtor"s continued activity, and 78,096 were denied. We filed contestation to the Additional receivable table within the legal term.

On the hearing term 14.02.2019 Mehedinti Tribunal decided joining file 9089/101/2013/a152 and file 9089/101/2013/a140 (pertaining to claims – payment request). File judgment was postponed because the court deemed it useful for case settlement to submit Civil ruling 2969/26.09.2018, pronounced by the High Court for Cassation and Justice under file 3014/2/2014, pertaining to cancelling Decision 743/2014 of ANRE president.

Settlement of Mehedinti Tribunal: "It admits the exception of decline. It partly admits the main issue and associated contestation. It compels defendant RAAN to pay to claimant Transelectrica the amount of

16,950 as liability accrued during the procedure, judging to record it in the creditors" table constituted against debtor RAAN. The other associated requests are denied. In accordance with article 453 para 2 from the Civil Procedural Code it compels the defendant to pay 1th Lei law court expenses to the claimant. Appeal right is granted. It was pronounced on 20.06.2019 at public hearing. Document: Ruling 163/2019 / 20.06.2019.

Transelectrica filed appeal within the legal term. The Appeal Court Craiova established the first hearing term on 30.10.2019. The appeal was denied as groundless. Transelectrica filed review request for contradictory decisions, registered under file 1711/54/2019, with hearing term on 26.03.2020 at the Appeal Court Craiova, which will refer the file to the High Court for Cassation and Justice for competent settlement.

On 26.03.2020, the hearing term was changed and the next one was set on 21.05.2020.

On 21.05.2020 the case was taken out of the docket with the following settlement: the exception of material incompetence of the Appeal Court Craiova was admitted and the decision was taken to refer the case to ICCJ, Administrative and Fiscal Disputes Section; Ruling 140/21.05.2020; term 03.02.2021.

On the 03.02.2021 hearing term ICCJ admitted the exception of tardive review request and did not pronounce on its inadmissibility.

There are four more files between RAAN and Transelectrica found under various judgment stages.

Under RAAN"s bankruptcy file registered under number 9089/101/2013 Mehedinti Tribunal deferred the case on the terms 08.10.2020 and 04.02.2021. Settlement in brief: term was granted to continue the liquidation procedures, to represent the debtor"s interests in the disputes found on the docket of law courts; to consolidate the creditors" table, to continue measures in view of recovering receivables and further public bids in order to capitalise the debtor"s assets.

In accordance with such Agreement the Company"s receivables collectable from CET Govora SA were compensated with its liabilities to CET Govora SA, represented by cogeneration bonus for May 2014 – October 2015 amounting to 40,508, withheld by applying the provisions of article 17 para 5 of ANRE President"s Order 116/2013 and the Agreement provisions, in the amount of 40,508.

Since ANRE Decision 738/28.03.2014 which had determined the 2011-2013 overcompensation was suspended by court civil judgment 3185/27.11.2015 CET Govora SA had no longer complied with its obligations under the Agreement terms.

Beginning with 9 May 2016 the general insolvency procedure was initiated for CET Govora. In view of recovering the receivables accrued before opening the insolvency procedure the Company followed the specific procedures specified by the Insolvency Law 85/2014 and requested the court to admit its receivables, as per legal provisions. Taking into account the above, beginning with 9 May 2016 the Company ceased applying the provisions of article 17.5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE President approving the Regulation establishing the collection mode of the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration and the bonus payment for electricity generated by high efficiency cogeneration and paid monthly the cogeneration bonus to CET Govora.

Civil ruling 2430/05.10.2016 of the High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the appeal filed by

NPG TRANSELECTRICA SA NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2023 (All amounts are in thousand LEI, unless stated otherwise)

ANRE against civil ruling 3185/27.11.2015, partly cancelled the sentence appealed against and denied the suspension request of CET Govora, such decision being final. Thus, beginning with 05.10.2016 the effects of ANRE Decision 738/28.03.2014 are no longer suspended, bearing full effects.

Under such circumstances the Company applies the provisions of article 17 para 5 of ANRE Order 116/ 2013 for mutual receivables and liabilities occurred after the insolvency procedure, namely withholding the bonus due to CET Govora SA up to the concurrence of amounts related to the support scheme that were not paid to the Company. Transelectrica was registered in the Preliminary and final receivables table with total amount of 28,200, of which 25,557 relate to the support scheme. Mention should be made this receivable amounting to 21,962 representing principal and penalties related to invoice 8116/08.04.2016, was registered under the suspensive condition of pronouncement of a final juridical ruling in favour of ANRE under file 2428/2/2014 on the docket of the Bucharest Court of Appeal, pertaining to cancelling ANRE decision 738/28.03.2014.

On 18.07.2018 Valcea Tribunal pronounced the following settlement:

  • It confirmed the reorganisation plan of Co. CET Govora SA proposed by the judiciary administrator EURO INSOL SPRL, submitted on 25 May 2018 to the file and printed in the Bulletin of Insolvency Procedures 11924 of 13 June 2018. - - It denied the contestations submitted by creditors Energy Complex Oltenia SA, SNTFM CFR Marfa SA, Solek Project Delta SRL, Solek Project Omega SRL, Clean Energy Alternativ SRL and Solar Electric Curtisoara SRL.

  • It set 8 October 2018 as substantial term to continue the procedure.

Appeal right within 7 days from notification performed by means of the Bulletin of Insolvency Procedures; pronounced at public hearing of 18 July 2018; Document: Ruling 1196/18.07.2018.

Ruling 766/03.12.2018 of the Appeal Court Pitesti cancelled the amount of 28,014 representing a liability the Company registered in the Creditors"Table (File 1396/90/2016).

Under such circumstances the Company included the amount of 22,188 from the support scheme in the sundry debtors" account, which is analytically distinct - ANRE, and impacts the net position of the support scheme.

The amount of 22,188 represents receivable to be cashed from CET Govora under the support scheme amounting to 25,557, corrected with the bonus of 3,369 the Company withheld according to article 17 para 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE President.

On 25.03.2022, by Government Decision no. 409/2022, it was adopted the amendment and completion of Government Decision no. 1215/2009 on the establishment of criteria and conditions necessary for the implementation of the support scheme for the promotion of high efficiency cogeneration based on useful heat demand. Thus, the period of application of the support scheme is extended until 2033, exclusively for producers who meet the conditions for accessing the extension of the support scheme.

At the same time, the financial closure of the support scheme, which will take place in the first half of 2034, is extended.

Down payments to suppliers

As at 30 June 2023, down payments paid to suppliers are represented by debtor suppliers for services rendered in the amount of 80,035 and represent mainly amounts from transactions related to the price coupling mechanism (ICP - Interim Coupling Project, SIDC - Single Intraday Coupling and SDAC - Single Day-ahead Coupling) (52,849 - for ICP and SDAC and 25,367 - for SIDC).

The price coupling mechanism was applied beginning with 19 November 2014, date when the "4 Markets Market Coupling (4MMC)" project providing connection of the DAM (day-ahead electricity markets) from Romania, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia became operational. Such price coupling mechanism of day-ahead markets means the electricity exchanges correlate the electricity transactions for the following day based on bids, taking into account the interconnection capacity made available by the TSO, whereby it is implicitly allocated. CNTEE Transelectrica SA as TSO transfers electricity both in physical and commercial terms to the neighbouring TSO (MAVIR, Hungary) and manages the congestion revenues on the respective interconnection (article 139 from ANRE Order 82/2014), and in relation to OPCOM SA it is Implicit Participant to the Day-Ahead Market.

In its capacity of Transfer Agent and Implicit Participant CNTEE Transelectrica SA has the commercial task to settle the electricity transacted between OPCOM SA and MAVIR.

On 19 November 2019 On 19 November 2019 the 2nd wave was launched under the single European intraday markets coupling (SIDC – Single Intraday Coupling), with first deliveries on 20 November. Seven countries: Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovenia joined the fourteen states: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden that have been already operating under coupled regime since June 2018.

The single intraday coupling mechanism provides uninterrupted matching of sale and purchase offers made by market participants from a bidding zone with the sale and purchase offers from within one"s own bidding zone and from any other bidding zone with available cross-border capacity.

In its capacity of Transfer Agent CNTEE Transelectrica SA has the commercial task to settle the electricity transacted between OPCOM SA, MAVIR and IBEX.

28 October 2021 marks the start of the new successful SDAC Single Day-ahead Coupling, the result of cooperation between the Designated Electricity Market Operators (DEMO) and the Transmission System Operators (TSO) of Bulgaria and Romania, namely IBEX EAD, OPCOM SA, ESO EAD and CNTEE Transelectrica SA. The aim of the SDAC is to create a single pan-European cross-border day-ahead energy market. An integrated day-ahead market increases the overall efficiency of trading by promoting effective competition, increasing liquidity and enabling more efficient use of generation resources across Europe.

In its capacity of transfer agent for Romania's bidding zone, CNTEE Transelectrica SA has the task to settle the energy transacted between OPCOM SA and IBEX.

The launch of Flow Based Market Coupling in the Core region on 08 June 2022 represented the transition from the ICP - Interim Coupling Project coupling mechanism to FBMC - Flow Based Market Coupling, optimising the European electricity market for 13 countries: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

In the FBMC project, Transelectrica has the role of both Shipper (Transfer Agent) and CCP - Central Counterparty. As CCP, the Company has the task of transferring the financial flows generated by the electricity flows, following the coupling process.

10. a. TRADE AND OTHER LIABILITIES

On 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022, trade and other liabilities were as follows:

30 june 2023 31 december 2022
Providers - electricity market 703.611 1.956.548
Asset providers 120.622 134.881
Providers of other activities 34.681 34.554
Amounts due to employees 12.671 11.220
Other liabilities 802.175 1.214.971
Total 1.673.759 3.352.175

On 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2022, the liabilities on balance from the electricity market amounting to 703,611 and 1,956,548 respectively, have the following structure:

30 june 2023 31 december 2022
Providers - electricity market, of wich:
-providers - operational activity 374.394 1.336.903
-providers - balancing market 301.140 583.098
-providers- bonus type support scheme to
promote high efficiency cogeneration
28.077 36.547
Total 703.611 1.956.548

The suppliers on the electricity market are mainly represented by OPCOM, MAVIR, IBEX, Hidroelectrica SA, Joint Allocation Office, S Complexul energetic Oltenia SA, CIGA Energy SA, Electrica Furnizare SA, CINTA Energy SA, OMV Petrom SA. As of 30 June 2023, their share in the total number of electricity suppliers was 95.80%.

The decrease in the liability balance for operational activities was mainly due to the payment in the first half of 2023 of the payment liabilities outstanding on 31 December 2022, mainly resulting from the coupling of electricity markets.

The decrease in the the liability balance of the balancing market was determined by the decrease in the volume of transactions recorded on the balancing market in the first half of 2023 compared to the second half of 2022.

The decrease in of liabilities related to the support scheme to suppliers (producers) was mainly determined by the decrease in the monthly bonus for high efficiency cogeneration from June 2023 to December 2022.

On 30 June 2023, there are payment obligations to suppliers (producers) in the amount of 27,120 (RAAN - 23,751 and CET Govora SA - 3,369), representing the monthly cogeneration bonus, the ex-ante overcompensation for 2014 and 2015, and the bonus not paid in 2015. 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, because suppliers (producers) registered payment liabilities to the Company under the bonus type support scheme.

The company requested the suppliers (producers) that did not pay the overcompensation invoices their agreement to compensate mutual liabilities at minimum level by means of the Institute of Management and Informatics (IMI) which uniformly manages all information received from tax-payers according to the

provisions of GD no. 773/2019.

The Producers (RAAN, and CET Govora) did not agree with this manner of extinguishing mutual receivables and liabilities, therefore the Company has applied and further applies article 17 para 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE president approving the Regulation establishing the collection mode of the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration and bonus payment for electricity generated under high efficiency cogeneration: "in case the generator did not make the payment in full to the support scheme administrator of its payment liabilities resulted in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation, the support scheme administrator pays to the producer the difference between the producer invoices and its payment liabilities under the support scheme, with explicit mention of the respective amounts on the payment document" and withheld from payment the due amounts under the respective support scheme.

CNTEE Transelectrica SA concluded with CET Govora SA a compensation agreement to spread out the payment of amounts representing receivables from the 2011-2013 overcompensation and the 2014 undue bonus (Agreement C 135/30.06.2015 and Addendum 1/04.08.2015). The Agreement term was of 1 year (July 2015-August 2016) and provided the Company"s right to calculate and collect penalties during payment spread-out.

In accordance with such Agreement the Company"s receivables collectable from CET Govora SA were compensated with its liabilities to CET Govora SA, represented by cogeneration bonus for May 2014 – October 2015 amounting to 40,508, withheld by applying the provisions of article 17 para 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE President and the Agreement provisions.

Since ANRE Decision 738/28.03.2014 was suspended by court civil ruling 3185/27.11.2015, which had determined the 2011-2013 overcompensation, CET Govora SA had no longer complied with the Agreement terms. Beginning with 9 May 2016 the general insolvency procedure was initiated for CET Govora. Taking into account the provisions of the Insolvency Law 85/2014 the Company ceased, beginning with 9 May 2016, to apply the provisions of article 17.5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE President approving the Regulation establishing the collection mode of the contribution for high efficiency cogeneration and the payment mode of the bonus for electricity generated under high efficiency cogeneration and pays monthly the cogeneration bonus owed to CET Govora. Civil ruling 2430/05.10.2016 of the High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the appeal filed by ANRE against civil ruling 3185/27.11.2015, partly cancelled the sentence appealed against and denied the suspension request of CET Govora, such decision being final. Thus, beginning with 05.10.2016 the effects of ANRE Decision 738/28.03.2014 are no longer suspended, bearing full effects.

Under such circumstances the Company applies the provisions of article 17 para 5 of ANRE Order 116 / 2013 for mutual receivables and liabilities accrued after the insolvency procedure, meaning it withheld the bonus due to CET Govora SA up to the concurrence of amounts related to the support scheme that were not paid to the Company.

The decrease of the asset suppliers" balance on 30 June 2023 compared to 31 December 2022 was mainly owed to payments falling due.

Liabilities to the suppliers of other activities are mainly represented by liabilities associated to services provided by third parties that did not reach maturity, which have increased in comparison with 31 December 2022.

The liability structure under "other liabilities" was the following:

30 june 2023 31 december 2022
Various creditors 413.046 389.853
Client-creditors 282.040 770.851
Dividends to pay 52.181 148
Other liabilities 54.908 54.119
Total 802.175 1.214.971

"Sundry creditors", amounting to 413,046 at 30 June 2023, mainly represent:

  • the net position of the support scheme for high efficiency cogeneration, a liability position amounting to 397.742.

The net support scheme position represents the difference between:

  • the contribution to be collected from the suppliers of electricity consumers; the overcompensation for electricity and heat generated under high efficiency cogeneration; the undue bonus to collect from producers according to ANRE decisions on the one hand, and

  • the cogeneration bonus; the ex-ante overcompensation and ungranted bonus to pay to electricity producers for high efficiency cogeneration that are beneficiaries of the support scheme on the other hand;

  • 12,443 study contracts for RET connection solutions,

  • 1,524 royalty quarter II 2023 and others.

  • "Client creditors" on 30 June 2023 total 282,040, of which 281,102 represent amounts received in advance on transactions relating to the price coupling mechanisms, ICP (Interim Coupling Project), SIDC (Single Intraday Coupling), SDAC (Single Day-ahead Coupling) and FBMC (Flow Based Market Coupling), from OPCOM (9,467), MAVIR (173,729), IBEX (97,885) and JAO (20).

  • On 30 June 2023, the unpaid dividends owed to the Company's shareholders amounted to 52,181. Such amounts are at the shareholders" disposal by means of the payment agent.

Other liabilities" in the amount of 54,908 are mainly represented by the payment bonds of contracts on the electricity market concluded by Company in the amount of 35,175 and non-demandable VAT during the reporting period in the amount of 19,177 and others.

Revenue from transmission service

Revenues from the transmission service increased in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022 by 53,705, due to the increase in the average tariff for the transmission service approved by ANRE (according to the previously provided table with ANRE-approved tariffs in the periods under review), while the quantity of electricity delivered to consumers decreased by 7.18%, i.e. by 1,932,045 MWh.

Revenue from the allocation of interconnection capacities

Revenue from the allocation of interconnection capacities increased in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 by 54,338, corresponding to the level of usage of available interconnection capacities by traders in the electricity market.

The market for the allocation of interconnection capacities is fluctuating, with prices changing according to demand and the need for electricity market participants to acquire interconnection capacities. The increase in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 is due to both the unit price of electricity which has increased across the European Union, leading to a large price differential between the coupled markets, and the European energy shortage. Implicit allocations, where capacity and energy are foreseen simultaneously, are strongly influenced by electricity price variations on European exchanges.

The mechanism for allocating interconnection capacities consists of annual, monthly, daily and intra-day bids. Bids on the Romania-Serbia border, long-term bids on the borders with Hungary and Bulgaria and daily bids on the border with Moldova are explicit - only transmission capacity is bided, while daily (borders with Hungary and Bulgaria) and intra-day (borders with Hungary and Bulgaria) bids are implicit they are allocated simultaneously with energy and capacity through the coupling mechanism.

On 8 June 2022, the Core FB MC (Core Flow-Based Market Coupling) project went live, thus initiating day-ahead flow-based market coupling in the Core capacity calculation region. The flow-based market coupling mechanism optimises the European electricity market for 13 countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia).

As of 27 October 2021, the Romania-Bulgaria border has been integrated into the Single Day-Ahead Market Coupling (SDAC), with cross-border capacity between Romania and Bulgaria allocated by default.

As of November 2019, the 2nd wave of the Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC) European Single Intraday Market Coupling solution has been launched. The Single Intraday Market Coupling mechanism ensures the seamless matching of bids and offers of market participants in one bidding zone with bids and offers from within its own bidding zone and from any other bidding zone where cross-border capacity is available. Thus, explicit intraday bids are only on the border with Serbia, and implicit intraday bids (within the SIDC) on the borders with Bulgaria and Hungary.

The use of net revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacities is carried out in accordance with the provisions of ANRE Order No 171/2019 and Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of 5 June 2019 on the internal market in electricity, as a source of financing investments for the modernisation and development of interconnection capacity with neighbouring systems.

Extending market coupling has the effect of levelling the price of energy in Europe, which is also one of the main objectives of Regulation (EU) 2015/1222 "laying down guidelines on capacity allocation and congestion management".

Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) revenues

Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) revenues were higher in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 by 1,748. This revenue comes mainly from scheduled electricity exchanges with perimeter countries (countries that are not part of the ITC mechanism), i.e. Ukraine and Moldova. ȊStarting from 01.09.2022, the tariff for exchanges with perimeter countries changed from 0.6 EUR/MWh to 1.2 EUR/MWh, which led to an increase in revenue compared to the same period last year. In addition, trade with Ukraine was severely reduced in February and March 2022 due to the outbreak of armed conflict in the region, and trade with Moldova only started in October 2022.

Revenues from CPT transactions

Energy trading revenues for CPT were higher in in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 by 10,207. These revenues come from the sale of surplus energy, resulting as the difference between the long- and medium-term forecast and the short-term forecast on the Intraday Market administered by OPCOM and as the difference between forecast CPT and actual CPT on the Balancing Market, respectively.

In the structure of these revenues, transactions on the Intraday Market were lower than in the previous year, as a large part of the required CPT was acquired on the long-term markets through the MACEE mechanism and bilateral contracts, and prices on the short-term markets decreased compared to the previous year, with negative price intervals, while transactions on the Balancing Market were higher than in the previous year, due to the delegation of balancing responsibility to another ERP as of June 2022, as well as due to the fact that several negative balancing price intervals were recorded.

Revenues from system services

Revenues from system services decreased by 62,478 in the first half of 2023 compared to the first half of 2022, due both to the decrease in the tariff approved by ANRE for these services (according to the previously provided table with ANRE-approved tariffs in the periods under review) and to the reduction in the quantity of electricity delivered to consumers by 7.18%, i.e. by 1,932,045 MWh.

For the activity of system services, the specific regulatory framework for this activity contains regularisation mechanisms that ensure compensation for the excess or shortfall of revenue in relation to the level of expenditure required to carry out the activity. Thus, according to ANRE regulations, the surplus/deficit of revenue compared to the recognised costs resulting from the performance of this activity is compensated by ex-post tariff correction (negative/positive correction) applied by ANRE in the tariff in the years following the year in which the surplus/deficit was recorded. The surplus/deficit of revenue over the costs resulting from the performance of this activity is calculated per tariff scheduling period.

Revenues from emergency aid

In May and June 2023, the Company provided emergency aid to Serbia and Ukraine. Thus, in the first half of 2023, revenues from emergency aid in the amount of 3,553 was registered.

Revenue on the balancing market

Revenues on the balancing market decreased in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022 by 477,215 mainly due to the following:

  • national regulations on the electricity market, namely GEO No 153 of 11 November 2022 for the amendment and completion of GEO No 27/2022 on measures applicable to final customers in the electricity and natural gas market for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, as well as for the amendment and completion of certain regulatory acts in the field of energy and the amendment of GEO No 119/2022 for the amendment and completion of GEO No 27/2022 on measures applicable to final customers in the electricity and natural gas market for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023, as well as for the amendment and completion of certain regulatory acts in the field of energy;
  • European legislative regulations on the energy market;
  • energy market developments at European and regional level;
  • the contracting method in pre-balancing markets;
  • the evolution of hydropower and wind generation;
  • the evolution of electricity production and consumption;
  • the evolution of the negative/positive imbalance of electricity suppliers in the balancing market;
  • the evolution of the average price recorded on the balancing market.

15. SYSTEM OPERATION AND BALANCING MARKET EXPENSES

Expenses in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2021 were as follows:

30 june 2023 30 june 2022
Expenses on own technological consumption 261.205 434.186
Congestion expenses 88 221
Expenses for the electricity consumption in RET
substations
25.456 20.628
Expenses regarding functional system services - 31
ITC expenses (Inter TSO Compensation) 20.321 10.970
Total system operating expenses 307.070 466.036
-
Expenses regarding system services 230.735 230.820
Balancing market expenses 1.017.157 1.494.866
Total 1.554.962 2.191.722

Expenses on own technological consumption

This represents expenses on the acquisition of electricity from the free electricity market, i.e. the Centralised Bilateral Contract Market (CBMP), the Day-ahead Market (DMP), the Balancing Market (BE) and the Intraday Market (IP) to cover own technology consumption (OTC) in the electricity transmission network (RET).

Expenses on own technology consumption was lower by 172,982 in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022, due to a number of issues as follows:

  • given its characteristic features, the Own Technological Consumption (CPT) in the Electricity Transmission Network (RET) strongly depends on meteorological conditions, the structure of electricity generation and consumption at national level, the distribution of electricity flows in the internal transmission network and on the interconnection lines with neighbouring power systems, and its value is very little if at all controllable in an interconnected and coupled regional power market;
  • following the provisions of GEO no. 153/2022, CNTEE Transelectrica SA acquired electricity to cover 75% of the quantity related to the CPT forecast validated by the Centralised Electricity Purchase Mechanism (MACEE);
  • Measures taken at European level to make energy consumption more efficient, the replacement of Russian gas, the reduction of demand in the industrial area, and the increase in the share of wind energy, in the context of an atypically warm winter, led to a decrease in the consumption of quantities traded on the short-term markets by more than 35% and in energy prices on these markets. Thus, the average price of energy purchased on the DAM in the first half of the year was around 50% lower than in the same period of 2022, while remaining higher than in previous years.

Congestion expenses

In the first half of 2023, congestion expenses of 88 were incurred. Following the tripping of Trafo 1 - 250 MVA, 400/110 kV in Tariverde station, in order to avoid overload operation of Trafo 2 - 250 MVA, 400/110 kV and Trafo 3 - 250 MVA, 400/110 kV, power reductions were ordered to the Dispersible Units connected in Tariverde station.

Expenses on electricity consumption in RET stations

This expenses increased by 4,829 in semester I of 2023 compared to semester I of 2022, due to the increase in electricity acquisition prices.

In order to carry out the electricity transmission activity in the substations and to operate the National Electricity System in safe conditions, CNTEE Transelectrica SA must acquire electricity to cover the consumption related to internal services in the high-voltage substations under the management of the Company.

Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) expenses

ITC expenses are the monthly payment liabilities/collection expenses for each transmission system operator (TSO) and are determined under the mechanism for compensation/discount of the effects of the use of the electricity transmission network (RET) for electricity transits between TSOs of countries that have joined this mechanism under ENTSO-E. In semester I of 2023, this expense was 9,351 higher than in the same period last year.

Expenses on system services

System services are acquired by the Company from producers in order to ensure the maintenance of the safe operation of the SEN and the quality of the electricity transmitted at the parameters required by the technical standards in force, based on the needs established by the National Energy Dispatcher who is responsible for ensuring the stability and safety of the SEN operation.

The contracting of these services is carried out both in a competitive and regulated regime (based on the decisions of the National Energy Regulatory Authority) in the case of reactive energy reserves.

The acquisition of system services shall be carried out on a competitive basis through daily tenders in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019.

In the first semester of 2023, the contracting of system services under the regulated regime was carried out only for reactive energy, according to ANRE Decision no. 1078/2020, being provided by the Hydroelectric Power Production Company "Hidroelectrica" SA.

Expenses on system services in semester I of 2023 in the amount of 230,735 was relatively constant compared to the semester I of 2022 outturn. The acquisition prices of system services on the competitive market in semester I of 2023 remained around the values:

  • the average acquisition price of the secondary regulation reserve with the value of 79,30 lei/MWh;
  • the average acquisition price of the fast tertiary regulation reserve, at increasing power, with the value of 37,95 lei/MWh;
  • the average acquisition price of the fast tertiary regulation reserve, at power reduction, with the value of 13,67 lei/MWh.

Also, the first half of 2023 saw a high level of concentration in the system services market for secondary reserve (SR) system services.

For the next period from 2023, it is estimated that a significant impact on the evolution of costs for the purchase of system services through daily and one-way auctions, at CNTEE Transelectrica SA level, will be the evolution of ANRE's regulatory framework on the electricity market, as well as the European context of evolution of the electricity market.

Balancing market expenses

The balancing market expenses of 1,017,157 in semester I of 2023 was 477,709 lower than in semester I of 2022. These expenses result from the notifications/achievements of the participants in this market and are significantly influenced by the evolution of national electricity production and consumption, the European context of the evolution of the electricity market and the way in which the contracting in the markets prior to the balancing market was carried out.

20. LITIGATIONS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation in progress

The management periodically analyzes the situation of ongoing litigation, and after consulting with its legal representatives, decides the need to create provisions for the amounts involved or to present them in the financial statements.

Given the existing information, the Company's management believes that there are no other significant pending litigations in which the Company is a defendant, except for the following:

RAAN

On the docket of Mehedinti Tribunal, Civil Section II, Administrative and Fiscal Disputes Section file 3616/101/2014 was recorded involving the "claims in the amount of 1,091, value of invoice no. 1300215/31.12.2013", a file in which the Company is the defendant, the plaintiff being the Independent Authority for Nuclear Activities, RAAN.

Civil ruling 127 pronounced on 10.10.2014 by Mehedinti Tribunal admitted the request filed by plaintiff RAAN and ordered CNTEE Transelectrica SA to pay the amount of 1,091 Lei, constituting the value of invoice 1300215/31.12.2013.

The Company filed appeal and requested the court by the decision it would take to allow the appeal as it was filed and reverse the judgment and sentences under appeal and referring the case to the trial court in the territorial jurisdiction for judgement, and stating the compliance with the requirements of Articles 1616 and 1617 of the Civil Code, reason for which it is also required to declare the occurrence of mutual debts compensation and their redemption up to the amount of the smallest of them, namely the total amount requested by the plaintiff in the application for summons, ordering the appeal - plaintiff to pay the expenses made with this appeal.

The appeal was registered on the docket of the High Court of Cassation and Justice that decided to reverse decision 843/2015 and to remand the case for retrial to the same court, the Appeal Court Craiova.

Ruling 124/2017 of the Appeal Court of Craiova admitted the appeal filed by Transelectrica and cancelled sentence 127/2014 pronounced by Mehedinti Tribunal, while the case was referred for retrial to Bucharest Tribunal, Section VI Civil. On the docket of the Bucharest Tribunal the case was registered under no. 40444/3/2017 which by civil ruling 4406/04.12.2017 admitted the request filed by RAAN and ordered Transelectrica to pay the amount of 1,091 Lei. The sentence was appealed.

In 2014-2015 the Company withheld for payment the bonus owed to RAAN under the support scheme according to ANRE regulations, namely article 17 para 5 from Order 116/2013 of ANRE president.

Under such circumstances RAAN calculated penalties for late payment of the due cogeneration bonus amounting to 3,497, withheld from payment by the Company on account of non-cashed receivables. The Company refused paying the amount of 3,497 and did not register it as liability in the support scheme.

The subject of file 9089/101/2013/a152 is objection against the Additional liability table of debtor RAAN, the disputed amount being 89,361 Lei.

Transelectrica SA was recoded with 11,265 Lei in the table of debtor RAAN, in the category of receivables resulting from the debtor"s uninterrupted activity, the actual amount the Company requested being 89,361 Lei, but 78,096 Lei were not registered in the preliminary receivable table because "such sum was not recorded as owed liability in RAAN"s accounting books". Moreover the judiciary liquidator considered the request to record 78,096 Lei was made late since it pertained to 2011 – 2013, for which reason the receivable statement should have been submitted when the insolvency procedure began, namely on 18.09.2013. The contestation of the additional liability table as Mehedinti Tribunal admitted the accounting expertise evidence.

On the contestation judgment term 14.06.2018 the decision was taken to suspend it until settlement of file 3014/2/2014 on the docket of the ICCJ, and on 14.02.2019, Mehedinti Tribunal decided joining file 9089/101/2013/A152 to file 9089/101/2013/a140 (pertaining to claims, payment request). Thus file judgment was deferred because the court considered it useful to settle the case by submitting Civil ruling

NPG TRANSELECTRICA SA NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF JUNE 30, 2023 (All amounts are in thousand LEI, unless stated otherwise)

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.

On the 06.11.2019 hearing date the appeal was rejected as groundless; final decision. Ruling 846/06.11.2019.

On the 03.02.2021 hearing term ICCJ admitted the exception of tardive review request and did no longer pronounce on its inadmissibility.

Under RAAN"s bankruptcy file registered under number 9089/101/2013, Mehedinti Tribunal deferred the case on 08.10.2020 and 04.02.2021 terms. Settlement in brief: a term was granted to continue liquidation procedures, to represent the debtor"s interests in the disputes on the dockets of law courts; to consolidate the creditos" list; to continue public auctions capitalising the debtor"s assets.

22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the Group incurs a financial loss as a result of a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument failing to meet its contractual obligations. This risk arises mainly from trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

The treatment of counterparty risk is based on the Group's internal and external success factors. External success factors - which have an effect on risk reduction in a systematic way - are: decentralisation of the energy sector where generation, transmission, distribution and supply are distinct activities and the interface for the customer is the supplier, trading of electricity on the Romanian market in two market segments: the regulated market and the competitive market. Internal success factors in the treatment of counterparty risk include: diversification of the customer portfolio and diversification of the number of services offered in the electricity market.

Financial assets that may subject the Group to collection risk are primarily trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Group has put in place a number of policies to ensure that the sale of services is made to customers with adequate collection by including in commercial contracts the obligation to provide financial guarantees. The amount of receivables, net of adjustments for impairment, represents the maximum amount exposed to collection risk.

The maximum exposure to collection risk at the reporting date was:
