Abstract
The presentation of the history of the Romanian energy system is structured in four stages: before the First World War (1882–1918); between the two World Wars (1918–1950); from the Second World War to 1990; after year 1990. For every stage the text presents separately the components of the energy system: general energy, thermoenergetics, hydroenergetics, nuclear energetics, energy resources, renewable energy and electroenergetics. The thermoelectric power plants the hydroelectric power plants and the high-tension power lines of Romania were made almost entirely by Romanian construction and assembly trusts with Romanian specialists and Romanian workforce. Thermoelectric power plant projects, hydroelectric projects and electrical installation projects were realized by the design institutes of Romanian in collaboration with equipment suppliers and beneficiaries. Energy equipment was mostly imported until 1950, then, for the most part, they were produced by the Romanian industry.
