DISPUTES
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 1,090,831.70, 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 1,090,831.70 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 1,090,831.70 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 3,496,914, withheld from 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.
The subject of file 9089/101/2013/a152 is objection against the Additional liability table of debtor RAAN, the disputed amount being 89,360,986 Lei.
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 being 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. 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 2969/26.09.2018, pronounced by the High Court of Cassation and Justice under file3014/2/2014, pertaining to cancelling Decision 743/2014 of ANRE President.
Settlement of Mehedinti Tribunal by Ruling 163 / 20.06.2019: It admitted the exception of decline. It partly admits the main issue and associated contestation. It compelled the defendant to pay to the claimant the amount of 16,950,117.14 Lei accrued receivable during the procedure, judging to record it in the creditors’ table constituted against debtor RAAN by this sum. 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 at public hearing. Document: Ruling 163/20.06.2019.
On the 06.11.2019 hearing date the appeal was rejected as groundless; final decision. Ruling 846/06.11.2019.

After the control performed in January–March 2017 at Teletrans’s the Court of Audit found that Teletrans has not recovered and cashed from Transelectrica the amount of money requested as above.
Contact C03/2007 conditions invoice issuance and acceptance for payment by our Company’s representatives from branches and the executive part confirming the mentioned services in each minutes issued by the claimant.
As a result of the improper execution by Teletrans SA of services contracted under C03/2007, the local Minutes of work acceptance were not endorsed by most Transmission Branches, for which reason the Divisions developing contract C03/2007 have not accepted either the centralising monthly Minutes of work acceptance.

The activity in the energy sector is regulated by the National Energy Regulatory Authority ("ANRE"), an autonomous public institution, which has as its object of activity: the development, approval and monitoring of the application of the set of mandatory regulations at the national level necessary for the operation of the energy sector and electric energy market, heat and natural gas under conditions of efficiency, competition, transparency and consumer protection.
ANRE has as its main attributions and powers in the sector of electric energy and thermal energy produced in cogeneration, the following: grants, suspends or withdraws authorizations and licenses, develops and approves the methodologies for calculating regulated tariffs and prices, approves regulated tariffs and prices, establishes framework contracts, approves technical and commercial regulations, etc.
ANRE sets the tariffs for the electric energy transmission service and for system services. Therefore, the decisions taken by ANRE can have significant effects on the Company's activity.
The Company's operational activity is carried out under license no. 161/2000 for the transmission of electric energy and the provision of the system service issued by ANRE, valid until 2025, updated by ANRE Decision no. 687/04.05.2022 and the General Conditions associated with the license approved by ANRE Order no. 104/2014, with subsequent amendments and additions.
Considering the fact that the Company's activity and revenues are regulated by ANRE, the most important risks related to this aspect are as follows:
- the regulatory framework is relatively recent and is constantly subject to changes, which may affect the Company's performance;
- ANRE's decisions regarding the adoption of future tariffs may affect the Company's activities.
Final certification of Transelectrica as TSO for SEN, according to the ownership unbundling model
In accordance with the provisions of the Electric Energy and Natural Gas Law no. 123/2012, with subsequent amendments and additions, the National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) approved by Order no. 164/07.12.2015 the certification of the Company as a transmission and system operator of the National Electric Energy System according to the ownership unbundling model.
The ownership unbundling model became available to the Company pursuant to Law no. 123/2012 on electric energy and natural gas transposing Directive 2009/72/EC.
ANRE order no. 164/07.12.2015 accompanied by the Approval of the European Commission with number C (2015) 7053 final/12.10.2015, as an integral part of the Order, was published in the Official Gazette no. 908/08.12.2015 and together with its Approval Report is communicated by ANRE to the European Commission.
This order implements the provisions of European Union and national legislation regarding the certification of the transmission and system operator.
The certification notification was sent to the European Union, which published it in the EU Journal on 08.01.2016, in accordance with Art. 10 para. (2) of Directive 2009/72/EC.
Electricity transmission and system service tariffs
The electric energy transmission activity is an activity of general interest in the field of electric energy, authorized and monitored by a public authority (public service), with a natural monopoly character. The tariffs charged by the Company for trnasmission and system services are established and approved by ANRE (see Note 22).
The year 2022 is the third in the series of five consecutive years that form the fourth period of multi- annual tariff regulation for the electric energy transmission activity (January 1, 2020 December 31, 2024). The main coordinates of this regulatory period were established by ANRE based on the specific regulatory framework, respectively the methodology for establishing the tariff for the electric energy transmission activity. Compared to the previous forms of the methodology on the basis of which the tariffs were set in the previous regulatory period (July 1, 2014 June 30, 2019) and in the transition period from the previous regulatory period to the current regulatory period, the methodology applicable to the establishment of tariffs in the framework of the fourth regulatory period did not undergo substantial changes.
Regarding the fundamental aspects of the methodology (the main elements that make up the regulated income and how it is formed, the recovery of operating costs, the recovery and remuneration of the capital invested in regulated assets, the nature of the incentive elements, the method of collecting the regulated income), these have remained unchanged ensuring the continuity and predictability of the

regulatory framework. Detailed tariff settings for the entire current multi-year regulatory period were initially set during 2019.
During 2020, in accordance with the applicable methodology, a review of the previously approved period coordinates took place. This review was also necessary in view of the change in the tariff configuration in the sense of merging the tariff for the transmission activity with the tariff related to the functional services component within the system services activity. The merging of the two mentioned tariffs took place through the absorption in the transmission tariff of the tariff related to the functional services component within the system services activity. Thus, it was necessary to revise the initial starting settings (Regulated Asset Base) and cost scheduling approved for the regulatory period horizon, to include the assets and costs related to the system functional services activity in the starting settings and in the multi-year programming of the fourth regulation period. Previously, the programming of the costs related to the activity of system functional services was reviewed and established annually upon the approval of the tariff for system functional services, the previous methodology not providing for the establishment and approval of a multi-year programming for these costs.
In addition to the merging of the two mentioned tariffs, presented above, in the process of revising the coordinates of the regulatory period, certain elements initially approved for the transmission activity, such as the investment plan (slightly revised downwards to correct a technical error produced at the initial establishment of programming the program values were initially reported in nominal terms, for the purpose of programming it is necessary to adjust the initially reported values by extracting the estimated inflation for the regulatory period), the value of the Regulated Asset Base on January 1, 2020 (revised based on actual investments achieved in the second half of 2019), the starting point and the imposed efficiency slope for controllable operating and maintenance costs subject to efficiency (the starting point was revised by including in the multi-year historical average the costs achieved in the second half of 2019 and by elimination from the multi-year historical average of certain costs that were re-classified as uncontrollable costs in the fourth regulatory period, the efficiency slope was reduced from 1.5% to 1.0%), the forecast price for the purchase of electric energy to cover technical losses in the transmission grid (revised by indexation with inflation carried out in the second semester of 2019).
In the context of the significant increase in electric energy prices on the wholesale markets starting from the summer of 2021, a series of measures have been implemented at the level of the legislative and regulatory framework with the aim of mitigating the significant impact of this development on the costs borne by the operators of public transmission and distribution grids of electric energy with the purchase from the wholesale market of the energy needed to cover own technological consumption in grids:
in accordance with the regulatory framework issued by ANRE, when establishing the trnasmission tariff that entered into force on January 1, 2022, the revenue component included in the tariff intended to cover the costs of purchasing energy to cover own technological consumption in the transport network was increased , compared to the value initially established for the year 2022 within the multiannual programming of costs for the regulatory period 2020- 2024;
in accordance with the legislative framework (Emergency Governmental Ordinance no. 27/2022), on April 1, 2022, an additional increase in the transmission tariff was applied. This increase in the tariff had the role of ensuring the recovery by the Company of the deficit recorded in 2021 between the income included in the tariff and the real cost of electric energy purchased from the wholesale market to cover its own technological consumption in the transmission grid. This measure brought forward the deficit recovery process from 2021, which according to ANRE regulations would have been achieved a year later, namely in 2023;
in accordance with the legislative framework (Emergency Governmental ordinance no. 119/2022), the measure of capitalization of additional costs with own technological consumption, respectively of the difference between the achieved cost and the cost included in the transmission tariff, was introduced. The recovery through the transmission tariff of this difference is to be carried out in stages over a period of five years. The capitalization measure was established for the period January 1, 2022 - August 30, 2023. For the difference capitalized in 2022, the recovery through the transmission tariff will be acheived in the period 2023-2027.
The cumulative effect of the measures mentioned above was to balance the Company's revenues and costs, in the conditions of the significant increase in the costs of its own technological consumption against the background of the large increase in electric energy prices on the wholesale markets. At the same time, the two increases in the transmission tariff, applied on January 01 and April 01, 2022, also contributed to reducing the pressure that the increased costs exerted on cash flows.

Regulated asset base (“BAR / RAB”)
The determination of the transmission tariff is based, among other things, on the basis of the regulated assets. The base of regulated assets includes the net value of the tangible and intangible assets corresponding to the private patrimony of the Company and the net value of the assets belonging to the public domain of the state fully financed from own sources, recognized by ANRE and used in the provision of the electric energy transmission service.
In 2022, the regulated rate of return on assets for the electric energy transmission activity, expressed in real terms before taxation, had the following values:
6.39% value established in ANRE regulations and applied between January 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022.
Regarding the value of 6.39%, we specify that the ANRE regulations also established an incentive for new investments made in the electric energy transmission grid in the form of granting a supplement to the value of the regulated rate of return, in the amount of one percentage point and an incentive in the amount of two percentage points above the regulated rate of return approved for fixed assets related to investments in the grid commissioned starting from February 1, 2021 and achieved from own funds within projects co-financed from non-reimbursable European funds. Thus, the new investments made in the electric energy transmission grid starting in 2021 are remunerated with a regulated rate of return in the total amount of 7.39%.
At the beginning of 2022, the BAR value related to the electric energy transmission activity, established by ANRE based on the investments made by CNTEE Transelectrica SA in the third regulatory period, based on the investments made in the transitional tariff period - the second semester of 2019 and based on the investments made in the first two years (2020 and 2021) of the fourth regulatory period - is of about 2,520 million RON. Investments made mean completed investments, respectively objectives put into operation and registered as fixed assets in the Company's accounting records.
The total volume of investments approved for the fourth regulatory period is of about 1,587 million RON. From this total volume, it was forecasted that a part in the amount of about 644 million RON representing about 40% of the total approved investment volume will be financed from non-refundable European funds and from the revenues obtained by Transelectrica from the allocation of cross-border interconnection capacity. Thus, in the programming of the Regulated Asset Basis for the fourth regulatory period, a volume of 943 million RON was included, representing about 60% of the total approved investment volume, respectively the part of the total approved investment volume that is estimated not to be financed from the non-reimbursable sources mentioned above .

The company ensures non-discriminatory and regulated access to all participants in the electric energy market. The transmission activity is carried out through eight territorial transmission units based in: Bucharest, Bacău, Cluj, Constanța, Craiova, Pitești, Sibiu and Timișoara.
The electric energy transmission activity carried out by the Company consists in ensuring the technical conditions and maintaining the RET parameters at the time of introducing/receiving energy into/from the RET.
System services
The company has the task of permanently maintaining the operation of the national energy system in safe conditions and in compliance with the quality standards provided for in the technical code of the electric energy transmission grid. For this purpose, the Group uses its own resources called functional system services and purchases technological system services from electricity producers. The Companyprovides this service by using dispatcher management systems, based on a tariff regulated and approved by ANRE, which applies to the same basis electric energy delivered to consumers - and includes the tariff for system services.
Technological system services are purchased based on a competitive procedure regulated by ANRE, from producers, at the request of the Company, in order to maintain the operational safety level of SEN, as well as the quality of the energy transmitted to the parameters required by the legislation in force. The Company re-invoices the entire value of the system services purchased from producers (except for the active energy component to cover losses in the RET) to the ANRE-licensed electric energy suppliers who ultimately benefit from these services.
The functional system services refer to the dispatching services provided by the Company and consist of the planning and operational management of the SEN, as well as the other activities provided by the Company in order to balance production with consumption in real time, in order to satisfy consumption of electric energy safely with minimum costs and maintaining the level of safety in operation of the SEN.
Operator of the balancing market
The mode of operation of the balancing market is stipulated in:
Regulation (EU) 2195/2017 establishing a guideline on the balancing of the electric energy system, hereinafter referred to as "Regulation (EU) 2195/2017".
Regulation (EU) no. 1485/2017 establishing a guideline regarding the operation of the electric energy transmission system;
Order of the President of ANRE no. 61/31.03.2020 for the approval of the Regulation on the scheduling of dispatchable production units, dispatchable consumers and dispatchable storage facilities, the Regulation on the operation and settlement of the balancing market and the Regulation on the calculation and settlement of imbalances of the parties responsible for balancing, with subsequent amendments and additions;
Regulation for calculation and settlement of the imbalances of the parties responsible for balancing - sole imbalance price and for the modification of some orders of the president of the National Energy Regulatory Authority approved by ANRE President's Order no. 213 of November 25, 2020, published in the Official Gazette no. 1201 of December 9, 2020, with subsequent amendments and additions;
Electricity and natural gas law no. 123/2012, with subsequent amendments and additions.
The Balancing Market allows balancing the production-consumption balance in real time, using resources offered in a competitive system. Also, the balancing market guarantees the full fulfillment of the contractual obligations assumed by the energy market participants.
The purpose of the balancing market is to balance the production and consumption of electric energy and to improve the accuracy of forecasts made for this purpose by all market participants. This is ensured by trading the energy contracted in excess or not contracted, but consumed by the participants in the market. Transelectrica, based on the procedures and regulations approved by ANRE, must approve all participants in the balancing market, collect, verify, process all bids and carry out settlement procedures.
The most important contribution to the operation of the balancing market is made by the National Energy Dispatcher. The National Energy Dispatcher is responsible for supervising the adequate and safe operation of SEN, ensuring at all times the balancing of the production-consumption balance.

Intended energy exchanges and common settlement rules for the not intended energy exchanges (Calculation Methodology FSKAR)
Following the application of Regulation (EU) no. 1485/2017 establishing a guideline regarding the operation of the electric energy transmission system and Regulation (EU) no. 2195/2017 establishing a guideline on the balancing of the electric energy system, at the level of ENTSO E common settlement rules for intentional exchanges of energy and common settlement rules for unintended exchanges were developed and approved by the Transmission and System Operators. We specify the fact that the new set of common rules for the settlement of intentional energy exchanges and unintentional energy exchanges provides for the creation of a financial settlement between the Transmission and the System Operators, thus eliminating compensations in kind determined according to the ENTSO-E methodology by the Centers of Settlement from Brauweiler (Germany) and Laufenburg (Switzerland), which CNTEE Transelectrica SA traded on the Market for the Next Day and recorded them separately in the Budget of Revenues and Expenditures with the Party Responsible for Balancing Unplanned Exchanges as a result of energy trading on the Market for The next day.
The FSKAR calculation methodology, called Accounting and Financial Settlement of kΔf, ACE and Ramping period , entered into force on June 1, 2021. The Settlement Centers in Brauweiler (Germany) and Laufenburg (Switzerland) transmit the results to each Transmission and System Operator in the form of daily files containing intended exchanges and unintended exchanges (quantities prices) calculated for the respective Transmission and System Operator, on each settlement interval. The set price is the weighted average of the prices from trading on the Day-ahead Markets of all ENTSO E member states, the prices being expressed in Euro/MWh.
The costs and revenues highlighted in the invoice received from JAO regarding the energy settlement related to unintentional exchanges will be included in the settlement calculation in the Balancing Market, in accordance with the provisions of ANRE Order no. 33/2021, regarding the amendment and completion of the Regulation for the calculation and settlement of imbalances of the parties responsible for balancing single imbalance price approved by the Order of the President of the National Energy Regulatory Authority no. 213/2020.
Compensation process of the imbalances between all transmission and system Operators - IN (Imbalance Netting) Platform
Starting from 01.01.2021, it was implemented the European platform, International Grid Control Cooperation (IGCC) or IN Platform (Imbalance Netting) for the process of compensation of imbalances between all TSOs, which performs the automatic frequency restoration process under part IV of Regulation (EU) 2017/1485.
We specify the fact that the International Grid Control Cooperation (IGCC) represents the project that was chosen in 2016 by ENTSO-E, to become the future European platform for the imbalance compensation process, as defined in Regulation (EU) no. 2017/1485 of the Commission of August 2, 2017 establishing a guideline regarding the operation of the electric energy transmission system (art. 22). The IGCC initiative was started in 2010 by the operators in Germany and later expanded at the level of the central European systems, representing a way of optimizing the secondary regulation of frequency - alternating power, by reducing the actions of the opposite direction of the regulators of the member operators, resulting thus an optimized use of the system reserve "Frequency Restoration Reserve with automatic activation" of the RRF, at the overall level.
High efficiency cogeneration
Starting from April 1, 2011, the Company is the administrator of the support scheme for the promotion of high-efficiency cogeneration. The objective of this support scheme is to promote high-efficiency cogeneration electric energy production systems, having the advantage of producing energy with low

pollutant emissions. The aim is to facilitate the access to the market of high-efficiency cogeneration production systems by granting a cogeneration bonus, given that the production costs of electric energy and thermal energy in cogeneration plants are higher than the market prices of the two forms of energy. The scheme is intended for electric energy and thermal energy producers that own or commercially operate high-efficiency cogeneration plants, with the aim of stimulating new investments in cogeneration systems, as well as the retrofitting of existing plants. The effective implementation of the support scheme in Romania took place on April 1, 2011, after the adoption by the National Energy Authority (ANRE) of the regulatory framework necessary for the implementation of this scheme.
The support scheme for the promotion of high-efficiency cogeneration is one of the mechanisms developed at the level of the European Union (EU) for the achievement by each member state of the targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions -GES- (by reducing the amount of primary energy required to generate the same amounts of processed energy electrical and thermal compared to separate production).
The bonus support scheme was established in Romania by the Governmental Decision no. 219/2007 regarding the promotion of cogeneration based on useful thermal energy (transposition of EC Directive no. 8/2004) and implemented by the Governmental Decision no. 1215/2009 regarding the establishment of the criteria and conditions necessary for the implementation of the support scheme for the promotion of high-efficiency cogeneration based on the demand for useful thermal energy, for producers with an installed electrical capacity of more than 1 MW.
The support mechanism was authorized by the European Commission, Decision C(2009)7085, amended by Decision C(2016)7522 final. According to these decisions, the state aid is of operating type, to cover the difference between the costs and revenues of the production of electric energy and heat in high- efficiency cogeneration, ensuring a maximum return of 9%.
The bonus support scheme is intended in this way to support and promote high-efficiency cogeneration electric energy and thermal energy production systems, thus encouraging new investments in cogeneration technology, as well as the implementation of replacement/rehabilitation works for the existing plants.
The scheme applies to producers of electric energy and thermal energy in cogeneration, that have applied to ANRE to grant the bonus for electric energy produced in high-efficiency cogeneration, delivered in SEN, for the cogeneration capacities entered in the list of producers of electric energy and thermal energy in high-efficiency cogeneration until on December 31, 2016. Producers benefit from the support scheme for a maximum period of 11 consecutive years, without exceeding the year 2023, the year at the end of which the scheme ends. The bonus, granted on request, represents the amount (in RON) received by producers for each MWh produced in high-efficiency cogeneration and delivered to the SEN networks, is established annually by ANRE and is calculated as the difference between the total production costs of a power plant equivalent cogeneration, with the production of high-efficiency electric energy, and the revenues that can be obtained from it using the market price of electric energy, respectively the unit cost of thermal energy resulting for an equivalent thermal power plant, the difference compared to the electric energy delivered in the SEN by the cogeneration plant.
The Government Decision no. 1215/2009 establishes the legal framework, in accordance with the regulations of the European Union, necessary for the implementation of the bonus support scheme for the promotion of high-efficiency cogeneration, based on the demand for useful thermal energy, in order to cover the difference between the cost of energy production in high-efficiency cogeneration and its selling price. ANRE approved the reference bonus values, per megawatt hour of electric energy produced and delivered to the grid from high-efficiency cogeneration plants. Beneficiaries of the scheme are producers who meet certain criteria established by ANRE.
In accordance with Art. 14 of the Government Decision no. 1215/2009, CNTEE Transelectrica SA is designated as being responsible for the administration of the support scheme. The main duties of the Company as the administrator of the support scheme are represented by the collection of the contribution from the suppliers of the electric energy consumers in a bank account separate from the basic activity and the payment of the bonus to the producers of electric energy and thermal energy in cogeneration of high efficiency; concluding contracts with the suppliers for the collection of the contribution and with the producers who will be the beneficiaries of the scheme; checking the value of the collected contribution; issuing invoices to suppliers; the return of the contribution for high-efficiency cogeneration to suppliers who introduce into Romania the electric energy produced in high-efficiency cogeneration in other member states of the European Union; monitoring and reporting to ANRE on the administration of the support scheme.

The company acts as an agent of the state in the monthly collection of the contribution for cogeneration and the monthly payment of the bonus and under these conditions, the operations related to the support scheme do not influence the income and expense accounts, except for the own administration expenses recognized by ANRE for the development of the support scheme and which are self-invoicing.
On 08.12.2016, by the Government Decision no. 925, it was adopted the amendment and completion of the Governmental Decision no. 1215/2009 regarding the establishment of the criteria and conditions necessary for the implementation of the support scheme for the promotion of high-efficiency cogeneration based on the demand for useful thermal energy. The main changes refer to the following aspects:
- in order to receive the bonus, the producers are obliged not to register debts towards the administrator of the support scheme or to have concluded agreements for the compensation of debts and receivables;
- over-compensation is recovered according to national and European Union legislation in the field of state aid;
- the undue overc-ompensation/bonus left unpaid by producers, for which all legal steps have been taken, will be recovered by including the amount in the contribution for cogeneration, according to the methodology issued by ANRE;
- ANRE decisions regarding the amount of over-compensation and/or undue bonus are binding for producers and are implemented for recovery by issuing a decision by the scheme administrator in accordance with state aid legislation;
- the financial closure of the support scheme takes place in the first semester of 2024, according to the regulatory framework developed by ANRE.
On 25.03.2022, by the Government Decision no. 409/2022, it was adopted the amendment and completion of Government Decision no. 1215/2009 regarding the establishment of the criteria and conditions necessary for the implementation of the support scheme for the promotion of high-efficiency cogeneration based on the demand for useful thermal energy. Thus, the period of application of the support scheme is extended until 2033, exclusively for producers which meet the conditions for accessing the extension of the support scheme.
Following the issuance of the Governmental Decision no. 409/2022, ANRE updated the applicable regulatory framework by issuing:
- Order of the President of ANRE no. 34/2022 on the amendment of the Methodology for establishing and adjusting prices for electric energy and thermal energy produced and delivered from cogeneration plants that benefited from the support scheme, respectively the bonus for high- efficiency cogeneration, approved by the Order of the President of the National Regulatory Authority in the Energy Field no. 15/2015;
- Order of the President of ANRE no. 35/2022 regarding the amendment and completion of the Procedure for approval of new or re-engineering projects of cogeneration plants, approved by the Order of the President of the National Energy Regulatory Authority no. 115/2013.
Producers who until March 31, 2022 have benefited from the support scheme for 11 years and who meet the conditions for accessing the extension of the support scheme presented above, can benefit, based on a decision approved by the ANRE president, from the extension of state aid starting with April 1, 2022.
At the same time, the financial closure of the support scheme is extended and will take place in the first semester of 2034.
The coupling mechanism through price of the electric energy markets
The application of the price coupling mechanism began on November 19, 2014, the date on which the "4 Market Market Coupling (4MMC)" Project, which provides for the union of the PZU (Day-Ahead Market) electric energy markets in Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, was entered the operation phase.
On June 17, 2021, the Interim Coupling (ICP) project was launched, which represents the coupling of the day-ahead markets of the 4MMC countries with those of Poland, Austria and Germany.
On October 27, 2021, the Bulgaria-Romania border was also integrated into the single day-ahead coupling (SDAC - Single Day-Ahead Coupling).
On November 19, 2019, the 2nd wave was launched within the single European intraday market coupling solution (SIDC Single Intraday Coupling), with the first deliveries on November 20. Seven countries -

Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovenia joined fourteen countries - Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, which has already been operating in a coupled regime since June 2018.
On June 8, 2022, the Core FB MC (Core Flow-Based Market Coupling) project was put into operation, thus initiating day-ahead market coupling based on flows in the Core capacity calculation region. The flow-based market coupling mechanism optimizes the European electric energy market for 13 countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia).
The unique intraday market coupling mechanism ensures the continuous harmonization of market participants selling and buying bids in a bid area with selling and buying bids from within their own bid area and from any other bid area where cross-border capacity is available.
From the point of view of the internal regulatory framework, the roles and responsibilities of the operators involved, the Company and OPCOM SA, as well as the operations carried out within the market coupling are provided in the Regulation on the organization and operation of the electric energy market for the following day, observing the price coupling mechanism of the markets and the modification of some normative documents that regulate the day-ahead electric energy market, approved by ANRE Order no. 82/2014 (Regulation).
The target model for the day-ahead market, based on the principle of price coupling of regions (PCR - Price Coupling of Regions), uses a unique algorithm for matching offers and determining the price.
In the situation where the coupling is not possible, the TSOs of the respective countries apply the fallback procedures, by which the cross-border capacity is allocated.
Art. 138 of the Regulation provides that in the post-coupling process, the Transmission and System Operators (TSO) have the role of transfer agents of the electric energy resulting from the coupling algorithm as being transferred between two adjacent bidding areas.
Within the next-day market price coupling mechanism, electric energy exchanges correlate, based on tenders, electric energy transactions for the next day, depending on the interconnection capacity made available by the TSO through which the implicit allocation of it is performed.
The Company, as TSO, transfers the electric energy, both physically and commercially, to neighboring TSOs (MAVIR - Hungary and IBEX - Bulgaria) and administers the revenues from congestion on the respective interconnection related to PZU (art. 139 of the ANRE Order no. 82/2014), and in relation to OPCOM SA has the status of Implicit Participant in the Day-Ahead Market and the Intraday Market (PI).
As Transfer Agent and Implicit Participant, CNTEE Transelectrica SA has the commercial task of settling the energy traded between OPCOM SA, MAVIR and IBEX.
Thus, within the price coupling mechanism of regional markets, CNTEE Transelectrica SA:
- fulfills the role of default participant on PZU and PI and has the capacity of transfer agent;
- provides the interconnection capacity for the physical delivery of electric energy traded on PZU and PI, respectively the transfer of energy from one bidding area to another through the interconnection lines, being limited by their available transfer capacity.
Revenues recorded from congestion are divided monthly between transport and system operators, and exchange rate differences are retained or ensured, as the case may be, by the TSO.
At the level of the Company, it was approved that the transactions related to the price coupling mechanism of the regional markets do not influence the income and expenditure accounts, with the exception of the income from congestion management on the interconnection lines, the income/expenses with the exchange rate differences and the expenses with the bank commissions resulting from the settlement of the transactions carried out by the Company as a transfer agent.
Energy delivered to support the balanging of neighboring TSO in emergency situations (“Emergency energy assistance to neighboring”)
Taking into account European directives and regulations, national legislation and ENTSO-E rules, one of the obligations of the Transmission and System Operator (TSO) is to coordinate actions and help between neighboring TSOs in order to ensure the electric energy to restore the normal operation of power systems in the event of emergency situations.
Within the interconnected operation of the European energy system, an operational means of mutual

support of the TSO is the delivery of balancing energy to interconnected (neighboring) systems in emergency situations defined by the lack of reserves and/or sufficient sources to cover consumption , according to the corresponding general provisions of Regulation (EU) 2017/1485 establishing guidelines for the operation of the electric energy transmission system and Regulation (EU) 2017/2195 establishing guidelines for balancing the electric energy system.
The implementation of this possibility is based on the operational agreement of the synchronous area Continental Europe ("Synchronous Area Framework Agreement for Regional Group Continental Europe - SAFA"), which details the provisions of the regulations, respectively paragraphs e), f) and g) and of Art. B- 12 of this operational agreement. Therefore, the Company signed bilateral agreements for the purpose of providing emergency electric energy with neighboring TSOs from Hungary, Bulgaria and Serbia during the years 2017 - 2019 and with neighboring TSOs from Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, during 2022 (bilateral contracts with TSOs from Ukraine and from the Republic of Moldova were signed in emergency regime, in the context of the conflict situation in Ukraine and the synchronization of the two systems at the Energy System of Continental Europe - 16.03.2022.
Based on the bilateral contracts with neighboring TSOs, electric energy can be mutually supplied in the event of major failures in the production structure or in the transmission grid (energy referred to in the contract as "Emergency Energy"), on commercial principles. Emergency Energy can also be granted from the Romanian energy system to the Ukrainian/Moldavian energy system to ensure (observe) the scheduled energy exchanges from the Control Block Ukraine - Republic of Moldova to the Continental Europe Synchronous Zone, in the event of the activation of the measures provided by the decision of the Continental Europe Regional Group (RG CE) within ENTSO-E, which aims to reduce the physical flow of electric energy or to stop the synchronous operation of the Control Block Ukraine - Republic of Moldova with the Synchronous Zone of Continental Europe.
2. BASES OF ELABORATION
Statement of conformity
These consolidated financial statements ("financial statements") were prepared in accordance with the Order of the Minister of Public Finance no. 2844/2016 for the approval of the Accounting Regulations in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("OMFP no. 2844/2016"), with subsequent amendments and additions. Pursuant to Order no. 2844/2016, the International Financial Reporting Standards represent the standards adopted according to the procedure provided by the European Commission Regulation no. 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002 on the application of international accounting standards ("IFRS EU").
The Group applies the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union when preparing the consolidated financial statements of the year 2022 in accordance with OMFP no. 881/2012, with subsequent amendments and additions.
The account keeping of subsidiaries (Smart and Teletrans) is kept in Lei, in accordance with OMFP 1802. These accounts were retreated in order to show the differences existing between RCR accounts and those compliant with IFRS. The accounts have been adjusted accordingly, whenever needes with a view to harmonise such financial statements in all significant aspects with the IFRS adopted by the European Union.
Bases of assessment
The financial consolidated statements are prepared at historical cost, with the exception of tangible fixed assets, other than tangible fixed assets in progress, which are assessed at re-assessed value, while the debts related to the payment arrangements based on shares with cash settlement are assessed at fair value.
Functional and submission currency
The financial consolidated statements are presented in Romanian LEI ("LEI" or "RON") according to the applicable accounting regulations, this being also the functional currency of the Group.
Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial consolidated statements in accordance with EU IFRS requires management to use professional judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies, as well as the recognized value of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, assumptions regarding fair value (see Note 4) , regarding commitments and contingents (see Note 29), regarding the recognition of non-refundable funds to be received (see Note 14 Advance income), regarding

adjustments for losses in value of receivables (see Note 10), regarding related obligations cash-settled share-based payment transactions (Note 31) and related defined benefit plan obligations (Note 16).
Actual results may differ from estimated values. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in the future periods affected .
Information about assumptions and estimates that involve significant uncertainties is included in the following notes :
Note 13 - the estimate of the Group's management regarding the fact that there is reasonable assurance that the conditions attached to the non-refundable funds will be met and that the funds will be received;
Note 16 - assessment of obligations related to defined benefit plans;
Note 29 - recognition and assessment of provisions, commitments and contingents; key assumptions regarding the likelihood and extent of an outflow of resources .
Information on the accounting policy judgments regarding service concession agreements is presented in the following paragraphs.
In 2004, the Group (licensee) concluded a concession contract with the Ministry of Economy (grantor) according to which the Company has the right to use assets of public heritage, which include the electric energy transmission grid and the land on which it is located, in exchange for providing electric energy transmission service (see Note 3 - b).
Given the fact that most of the Company's shares are owned by the State, the Company's management considers that it is a public company and therefore does not fall under the provisions of IFRIC 12 "Service Concession Agreements".
Given that there is no other specific international financial reporting standard for service concession agreements, the Company considered whether to apply IFRIC 12, based on the hierarchy mentioned in SIC 8 "Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors", which stipulates that first the provisions of other IFRSs dealing with similar issues should be taken into account .
Thus, in the analysis of the application of IFRIC 12, the Group considered whether the following characteristics of public-private service concession agreements are applicable to the concession contract concluded with ME, on the date on which IFRIC 12 must be adopted:
the grantor controls or regulates the type of services that the licensee must provide within the infrastructure, to whom they must provide them and at what price;
the grantor controls - through the right of ownership, the right of benefit or otherwise - any significant residual interest in the infrastructure at the end of the term of the agreement: 49 years;
the contractual provisions would include the same provisions, if the agreement had been concluded with a private company.
From the analysis of the characteristics of public-private service concession agreements, the following can be found:
the services provided by the Group are regulated by ANRE, therefore, the Grantor (Ministry of Economy) does not control and does not regulate the type of services that the Group must provide;
at the end of the contractual period, the residual interest in the infrastructure is approximately zero, most of the assets belonging to the public domain of the state being fully amortized;
currently, there are no similar contracts, as the Group has a monopoly position for electric energy transmission.
The Company concluded that an accounting of the concession contract according to the provisions of IFRIC 12 will not reflect the economic substance of the transaction, because the Company pays an annual fee in the form of a royalty for the use of the assets mentioned in the concession contract in the amount of 4/1000 of the gross revenue value achieved fromelectric energy transmission and transit operations, through the national transmisison systems, under the public ownership of the state, a fee that is significantly lower than the depreciation that the Company would have recorded for the respective assets if the concession contract had not been signed.

(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 joint- stock 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 31.12.2022 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 12/31/2022.
The OPCOM s ubsidiary 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 31.12.2022 is 31,366, Transelectrica being the majority shareholder at that date. The shareholder structure is as follows:
CNTEE Transelectrica SA - 97.84% - CNTEE
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.
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.
(ii) 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
(b) Tangible assets
One’s assets
Tangible fixed assets, with the exception of tangible fixed assets in progress, are stated at re-assessed value, less the accumulated depreciation and accumulated depreciation losses. Tangible fixed assets in progress are stated at cost. The cost of self-built assets includes the cost of materials, direct wages, the initial estimate, where applicable, of the costs of dismantling and moving elements and restoring the site, and a share of indirect expenses.
Recognition
Tangible fixed assets are initially valued at cost.
Cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of assets built by the entity includes:
the cost of materials and direct personnel expenses;
other costs directly attributable to bringing the assets to the place and required state/stage for the intended use;
capitalized debt costs.
Depreciation adjustments are recorded for unused or used tangible fixed assets.
Later expenses
The Company recognizes in the accounting value of an element of tangible fixed assets the cost of replacing part of an item of fixed asset if, at the time the cost is incurred, it is probable that future

26
economic benefits related to the item will be generated to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
All other costs are recognized in the profit and loss account when they occur.
Depeciation
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over their useful lives as follows:
Normal operational period (years)
Buildings and special installations
40 – 60
Plant and equipment
15 – 40
Metering and control devices
7 – 12
Vehicles
5 – 8
Other tangible fixed assets
3 – 5
Lands are not depreciated. When the elements of a tangible fixed asset have different operating periods, they are recorded as separate elements (major components) of an asset. Asset depreciation methods, useful life cycles and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted, if necessary.
Revaluation
The Grroup opted for the presentation of tangible fixed assets at the re-assessed value, with the exception of advances and tangible fixed assets in progress which are presented at historical cost.
Revaluations are carried out by independent expert appraisers, with sufficient regularity so that the accounting value does not differ significantly from the value that can be determined based on the fair value on the reporting date.
(c)
Public patrimony
In accordance with the provisions of Law no. 123/2012, with subsequent amendments and additions, the electric energy transmission grid existing on the territory of Romania is the public property of the state.
Government Decision no. 627/2000 establishes in appendix no. 8 the inventory of the immovable assets that make up the public domain of the state, taken over in administration by the Company as of August 1, 2000 and which are inventoried and updated as often as necessary, by legislative document (Governmental decision).
In accordance with the provisions of Law no. 213/1998 and Law no. 219/1998, the Ministry of Economy concessioned on behalf of the state to the Company, the transmission grid (high voltage lines and electrical stations) and the lands on which it is located. Thus, on June 29, 2004, it was concluded the concession contract no. 1 between the Ministry of Economy and the Company for all tangible fixed assets from the public patrimony in balance on December 31, 2003 for a period of 49 years.
As a result of the signing of the concession contract with the Ministry of Economy on behalf of the Romanian State, on June 29, 2004, the nature of the relationship between it and the Company changed and therefore, the Company proceeded to derecognize the assets from the public patrimony, including the reserve of the public patrimony from within the equity capital. After the conclusion of the concession contract, the Company treats the assets over which it has the right of use as an operating lease. Payments related to the concession contract (royalty) are recognized as expenses in the profit and loss account by the Company during the year.
Concession contract no. 1/2004 was published in the Official Gazette of Romania no. 298 bis of April 30, 2015. During the years 2005-2013, seven addenda were concluded to the concession contract.
Considering the provisions of Government Decision no. 1009/2012 and Government Decision no. 984/2012 by which it was approved the amendment of Appendix no. 7 to Government Decision no. 1705/2006 for the approval of the centralized inventory of the goods from the public domain of the state concessioned to the Company, as a result of the inventory of the goods belonging to the public domain of the state in 2012 and the revaluation/evaluation of these goods, on 14.02.2013 it was concluded with the Ministry of Economy addendum no. 7 to the Concession Agreement no. 1/29.06.2004.
By Government Decision no. 1032 of December 11, 2013, published in the Official Gazette no. 22 of January 13, 2014, it was approved the amendment and completion of appendix no. 7 to Government Decision no. 1705/2006 for the approval of the centralized inventory of goods in the public domain of the state, as a result of the inventory of goods belonging to the public domain of the state in 2012.

By Government Decision no. 615 of September 5, 2019, published in the Official Gazette no. 730 bis 2019, it was approved the modification and completion of appendix no. 7 to Government Decision no. 1705/2006 for the approval of the centralized inventory of goods in the public domain of the state, as a result of the inventory of goods belonging to the public domain of the state in 2017 for the period 2013-2017, but until this moment it was not concluded the addendum no. 8 to Concession Agreement no. 1/2004.
The main terms of the concession contract are as follows:
The Ministry of Economy has the ownership title to the assets that are the subject of the contract;
The Group has the right to use these assets for a period of 49 years, from June 1, 2004 to May 31, 2053;
The annual fee paid by the group in the form of a royalty for the use of these assets is established by the Ministry of Economy and represents 1/1000 of the income from the electric energy transmission activity, for the quantity actually transmitted;
The assets will come into the possession of ME upon termination or expiration of the contract; the contract can be terminated unilaterally by either party;
The group has the obligation to use the assets in accordance with the provisions of the concession contract and operating license.
As of November 12, 2020, the Electric Energy Law no. 123/2012, which in art. 19, para. (1^1) provides: "the annual royalty related to the concession in the field of electricity transmission is 0.4% of the value of the gross revenues obtained from electric energy transmission and transit operations and is paid by the transmission and system operator as licensee".
The fee paid by the Company according to the concession contract and the Electric Energy Law no. 123/2012, with subsequent amendments and additions, for the period January 1 - December 31, 2022 is significantly lower than the depreciation that the Group would have recorded for the respective assets if this contract had not existed. However, the Group has not recorded any amount related to this potential benefit in the financial statements because it cannot estimate the amount paid for the use of these assets by a third party in an objectively determined price transaction.
The investments made by the Company from its own financing sources in the assets that are the subject of the concession contract are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life cycle of the assets. After recovering the depreciation of the investment, they will be included in the inventory of goods in the public domain of the state.
In the case of goods representing completed fixed assets, made from own sources of financing, they will be included in the inventory of goods in the public domain of the state after the recovery of the depreciation of the investment, respectively at the expiration of the normal period of use, of the concession or lease contract, according to the legal provisions in force, based on a normative document adopted in this regard.
(d) Intangible assets
Intangible fixed assets acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated losses from the depreciation of the intangible fixed assets. Depreciation is recognized in the profit and loss account based on the straight-line method over the estimated life of the intangible assets. Most of the intangible assets recorded by the Group are intangible assets in progress and dedicated computer programs. They are depreciated linearly over a period of 3 years.
Asset depreciation methods and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if necessary.
Later expenses
Subsequent expenses are capitalized only if it is probable that future economic benefits related to the subsequent expenses will be generated to the Company.
(e) Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are expressed in RON by applying the exchange rate from the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currency at the end of the year are expressed in RON at the exchange rate of that date. Gains and losses from exchange rate differences, achieved or non-achieved, are recorded in the profit and loss account of the respective financial year. The exchange rates at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2021 are as follows:

Non-monetary assets and liabilities expressed in a foreign currency are measured at fair value at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
(f) Receivables
Trade receivables are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently assessed using the effective interest method less value losses. The loss of value is recognized when there is clear evidence that the Group it will not be possible to collect the receivables at the established term. The debtor's significant financial difficulties, the probability that it will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, payment delays (more than 180 days) are considered indications that these receivables may require value adjustments.
A value loss on an asset is the difference between its accounting value and the present value of expected future updated cash flows using the asset's original effective interest rate. The accounting value is reduced by using a value loss account, and the loss is recorded in the profit and loss account under the item "Other operating expenses".
(g) Inventories
Inventories are made up of:
- raw materials, materials, spare parts that do not meet the definition of tangible assets and other consumables to be used in the Group's core activity;
- security and intervention stocks intended for the rapid remediation of faults occurring at RET installations in order to ensure the safe operation of SEN. These materials are recorded as inventory at the time of purchase and are registered at expenses at the time of consumption or are capitalized as appropriate.
Stocks are assessed at the lowest value between cost and the net achievable value. The cost of stocks consumed is determined based on the FIFO method and includes acquisition costs. Net achievable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion, if any, and the selling expenses.
It is the Group's policy to record a 100% value loss on inventory older than 365 days that will not be used in the future, except safty and intervention inventories.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash desk, current accounts and bank deposits with an original maturity of up to 3 months that are subject to an insignificant risk of change in fair value.
(i) Revaluation reserves
After recognition as an asset, an item of tangible fixed assets which fair value can be measured reliably is carried at a re-assessed amount, which is its fair value at the re-assessment date less any subsequently accumulated depreciation and any accumulated depreciation losses. Re-assessments are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the accounting value does not differ materially from what would have been determined using fair value at the balance sheet date.
If the accounting value of an asset is increased as a result of a revaluation, this increase is recorded directly in equity in the revaluation reserve. However, the increase is recognized in profit or loss account to the extent that it offsets a decrease from the re-assessment of the same asset previously recognized in profit or loss account.
If the accounting value of a tangible fixed asset is reduced as a result of a re-assessment, this reduction is recognized in the profit or loss account. However, the decrease is made by reducing the re-assessment reserves, to the extent that there is a credit balance in the re-assessment surplus for that tangible asset.
The re-assessment reserve included in equity related to an item of tangible fixed assets is transferred directly to the carried-forward result to the extent of depreciation of the re-assessed tangible fixed asset and when the asset is derecognised.
Starting from May 1, 2009, the reserves from the re-assessment of tangible assets, including land, carried out after January 1, 2004, which are deducted in the calculation of taxable profit by means of fiscal
NPG TRANSELECTRICA SA

29
depreciation or expenses regarding assets transferred and/or scrapped, are taxed simultaneously with the deduction of fiscal depreciation, respectively at the time of the removal from management of these fixed assets, as the case may be.
The Group recorded deferred tax for the liability regarding the reserves from the re-assessment of fixed assets, including land, made after January 1, 2004.
Reserves from the re-assessment of tangible assets, including land, carried out until December 31, 2003, as well as the portion of the re-assessment carried out after January 1, 2004 and related to the period up to April 30, 2009 will not be taxed at the time of the transfer in the carried-forward result.
The Group did not register deferred tax for the liability regarding the reserves from the re-assessment of fixed assets, including land, carried out until December 31, 2003.
The reserves from the re-assessment of tangible assets are taxable in the future, in the event of a change in the destination of the reserves in any form, in the case of liquidation, merger of the Group, including its use to cover accounting losses, except for the transfer, after May 1, 2009, of reserves related to assessment made after January 1, 2004 in the carried-forward result, which are taxed simultaneously with the deduction of fiscal depreciation.
(j) Depreciation of non-financial assets
The accounting values of the Group's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax receivables, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is evidence of depreciation. A depreciation loss is recognized if the accounting value of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable value.
The recoverable value of an asset or cash-generating unit is the maximum between the value of use and fair value less costs to sell. In determining value of use, the expected future cash flows are updated to determine the present value using a pre-tax updating rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
For depreciation testing, assets that cannot be individually tested are grouped at the level of the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use and that are largely independent of the cash inflows generated by other assets or groups of assets (" cash generating unit").
depreciation losses are recognized in the profit or loss account. depreciation losses recognized in connection with cash-generating units are allocated with priority to the reduction in the accounting value of the goodwill allocated to the cash-generating units (group of cash-generating units), if applicable, and then pro-rata to the reduction in the accounting value of the other assets within the cash-generating unit (group of cash-generating units).
A goodwill depreciation loss is not carried forward. For other assets, the depreciation loss is resumed only to the extent that the accounting value of the asset does not exceed the accounting value that could have been determined, net of depreciation, if no depreciation had been recognised.
(k) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as part of equity. Additional costs directly attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares and stock options are recognized as a reduction of equity to net of tax effects.
(l) Dividends
Dividends are recognized as a liability when the shareholder's right to receive the payment is established.
(m) Trade and other liabilities
Debts to suppliers and other debts are recorded at depreciated cost and include the value of invoices issued by suppliers of products, works performed and services rendered.
(n) Interest-bearing loans
Loans are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans are recorded at depreciated cost, with any difference between cost and repayment amount being recognized in profit and loss account over the term of the loan based on an effective interest rate.

(o) Recognition and derecognition of non-derivative financial instruments
Non-derivative financial assets
The Group initially recognizes receivables on the date they are initiated. All other financial assets are initially recognized on the transaction date, when the Group becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument.
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows generated by the asset expire or when the rights to collect the contractual cash flows of the financial asset are transferred through a transaction whereby the risks and benefits of ownership of the financial asset are transferred to significantly. Any interest in the transferred financial asset that is created or held by the Group is recognized separately as an asset or a liability.
Financial assets and debts are offset, and the net value is presented in the statement of financial position only when the Group has the legal right to offset the amounts and intends to either settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The Group's non-derivative financial assets are primarily trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Non-derivative financial debts
The Group initially recognizes issued debt instruments and subordinated liabilities on the date they are originated. All other liabilities (including liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss account) are initially recognized on the transaction date when the Group becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument.
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when the contractual obligations are paid or are canceled or expire.
The Group classifies non-derivative financial debts in the category of other financial liabilities. These financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, these financial liabilities are valued at depreciated cost using the effective interest method.
Other non-derivative financial debts comprise loans, trade debts and other debts.
(p) Income tax
The expense with the tax on profit comprises current tax and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognized in the profit or loss account unless they are related to business combinations or to elements recognized directly in equity or other elements of global result.
(i) Currrent tax
Current tax is the tax expected to be paid or received on the tax profit or loss achieved in the current year, using tax rates adopted or substantially adopted at the reporting date, as well as any adjustment for income tax liabilities for the previous years.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized for temporary differences that arise between the accounting value of assets and liabilities used for financial reporting purposes and the tax base used for tax calculation.
Deferred tax is not recognized for:
temporary differences that arise upon initial recognition of assets and liabilities arising from transactions that are not business combinations and that do not affect accounting or tax profit or loss;
temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries or jointly controlled entities, to the extent that they are likely not to be resumed in the foreseeable future; and
the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of goodwill.
The deferred tax assessment reflects the tax consequence that would arise from how the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the accounting amount of its assets and liabilities.
NPG TRANSELECTRICA SA
Notes to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022
(All amounts are in thousand LEI, unless stated otherwise)
The attached notes are integrant part of these consolidated financial statements.
31
Deferred tax is calculated based on the tax rates that are expected to be applicable to the temporary differences upon their resumption, based on legislation enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legal right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and if they relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority for the same taxable entity or for different tax entities that intend to settle the receivables and current tax liabilities on a net basis or which tax assets and liabilities will be achieved simultaneously.
A deferred tax receivable is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits can be used to cover the fiscal loss. Deferred tax receivables are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be achieved.
(iii) Exposure to the income tax
The Group considers the impact of the tax position as being uncertain, and whether additional taxes and interest may be due, in determining the amount of current and deferred tax. This assessment is based on estimates and assumptions and may involve a number of professional judgments regarding future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to modify its professional judgments regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes in tax liability may impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination occurs.
(q) Employees’ benefit
Other long-term employee benefits
The Group's net obligation for long-term employee benefits, other than pension plans, is the amount of future benefits that employees have earned in exchange for services rendered in the current and prior periods. This benefit is updated to determine its fair value, and the fair value of any related asset is deducted. These benefits are estimated using the projected credit factor method. Any actuarial gains or losses are recognized in other elements of the global result in the period in which they arise. Other long- term employee benefits are jubilee bonuses.
Cash-settled share-based payment transactions
The fair value of the liability to employees in respect of stock appreciation rights that are settled in cash is recognized as an expense corresponding to an increase in the liability in the period in which the employees obtain the unconditional right to the payment. Until the liability is settled, the Group must re- assess the fair value of the liability at each reporting date and at the settlement date, with any changes in fair value being recognized in the profit and loss account for the period.
The Group recognizes services received and a liability to pay for those services as employees perform the services.
Certain share appreciation rights vest immediately and therefore employees are not required to complete a specified period of service to be entitled to the cash payment. In such cases, the Group recognizes the entire value of the premium as an expense at the date of grant.
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term benefit obligations are assessed on a non-updated basis and are recognized as expenses as the services are rendered. A provision is recognized at the estimated amount to be paid for short-term benefits in the form of bonuses or employee profit-sharing, only if the Company has a present, legal or implied obligation to pay this amount for past services rendered by employees , and this obligation can be estimated. Short-term employee benefits are mainly wages.
In the normal course of business, the Group makes payments on behalf of its employees to the pension fund. All employees of the Group are members of the pension plan of the Romanian State. These payments are registered as expense as the services are rendered by the employees
(r) Revenues
Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and benefits have been transferred to the buyer, the obtaining of the economic benefits is probable and the associated costs can be estimated fairly. The revenues mainly consist of revenues from the transmission service, from the system service and from the balancing market calculated according to the volume of energy delivered to consumers. The tariffs for transmission and system services are regulated by ANRE. Revenue also includes the value of the transactions carried out in the balancing market, as described in Note 1.
NPG TRANSELECTRICA SA
Notes to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022
(All amounts are in thousand LEI, unless stated otherwise)
The attached notes are integrant part of these consolidated financial statements.
32
The Romanian state, through ANRE, regulates the tariffs charged by the Group for the electric energy transmission service and for the system operator service. The Romanian state fulfills several roles apart from that of the majority shareholder and, as a result, could have more comprehensive objectives and goals than an investor which main interest is the return on investment.
As mentioned in Note 1, the Company is also the administrator of the bonus support scheme for the promotion of high efficiency cogeneration. The company acts as an agent as it is involved in the collection and distribution of money.
Also, the Company and OPCOM SA are involved in the price coupling mechanism of regional markets based on ANRE Order no. 82/2014 (see Note 1).
Therefore, within the price coupling mechanism of regional markets, CNTEE Transelectrica SA:
- fulfills the role of default participant on PZU and PI and has the capacity of transfer agent;
- provides the interconnection capacity for the physical delivery of electric energy traded on PZU and PI, respectively the transfer of energy from one bidding area to another through the interconnection lines, being limited by their available transfer capacity.
Connection fees
IFRIC 18 “Transfers of Assets from Customers” applies to contracts with customers where the Company collects cash from a customer when the cash is to be used only for the construction or acquisition of an item of tanglible fixed assets, and the Company is then to use this tangible fixed asset to connect customers to the network.
Electric energy and natural gas law no. 123/2012, with subsequent amendments and additions, provides in art. 25 para. (1) as follows: "...Connection to public interest power grids and access to public interest power grids represent mandatory services, under regulated conditions, that must be performed by the transmission and system operator, as well as the distribution operator, including the energy communities of the citizens who manage the distribution grids."
The connection tariff is a regulated tariff that represents the expenditure incurred by a grid operator for carrying out the works of connecting a user's place of consumption and/or production to the power grid.
Provided that the connection of a customer to the electric transmission grid is not a separate component of the connection contract, the connection tariffs are recognized in the profit or loss account systematically over the useful life of the asset.
The company recognizes the cash available from the connection fee in the credit of the "Advance income" account in the statement of financial position and subsequently recognizes the income in the "Other income" category in the profit and loss account, systematically over the useful life of the asset.
(s) Net financing costs
Net financing costs include interest on loans calculated using the effective interest rate method, less borrowing costs capitalized as part of the cost of assets with long manufacturing cycle, dividend income, favorable and unfavorable foreign exchange differences, fees and risk fees.
In accordance with the revised SIC 23 "Borrowing costs" and invoking the optional exception from retrospective application under IFRS 1 "First-time adoption of IFRS", the Group capitalizes borrowing costs related to assets that require a long period of time to be put into operation or sold for which the financing was obtained after January 1, 2011, the date of transition to IFRS.
Interest income is recognized in the profit and loss account in the year in which it occurs, using the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognized in the profit and loss account on the date the Group's right to receive dividends is recognized.
(t) Subsidies
Subsidies related to assets are initially recognized as “revenue in advance” at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the subsidies, and then the subsidies are recognized in the profit and loss account as other operating income over the useful life of the asset to which it relates. Non-reimbursable funds are recognized as assets when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received by meeting the related conditions.
(u) Provisions
A provision is recognized when, and only when, the following conditions are met:
NPG TRANSELECTRICA SA
Notes to the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022
(All amounts are in thousand LEI, unless stated otherwise)
The attached notes are integrant part of these consolidated financial statements.
33
- The company has a current obligation (legal or implied) as a result of a past event;
- it is likely (ie, more likely than not) that an outflow of resources representing economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation;
- when a fair estimate can be made as to the amount of the obligation.
Where the effect of the time value of money is significant, the value of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.
(v) Result per share
In accordance with SIC 33 “result per share”, result per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the Group's shareholders by the weighted average of the ordinary shares of the period.
Weighted average shares outstanding during the financial year is the number of shares outstanding at the beginning of the period, adjusted for the number of shares issued, multiplied by the number of months the shares were outstanding during the financial year.
Dilution is a reduction of the result per share or an increase in loss per share resulting from the assumption that convertible instruments are converted, or that ordinary shares are issued upon the fulfillment of certain specified conditions. The purpose of diluted result per share is similar to that of basic result per share, namely to assess the interest of each ordinary share in the performance of an entity.
(w) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the attached financial statements. They are presented when the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is possible and not probable.
A contingent asset is not recognized in the accompanying financial statements, but is presented when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(x) Operational segments
An operating segment is a component of an entity:
who engages in activities from which it can obtain income and from which it can bear expenses (including income and expenses related to transactions with other components of the same entity);
which activity results are periodically reviewed by the main decision-making factor of the entity in order to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources per segment and the evaluation of its performance; and
for which separate financial information is available.
The Group carries out its operations in several locations in Romania, which are engaged in both transmission and dispatching activities. The Group's management considers the operations in their entirety as "one segment".
Operating segments are presented in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided by the entity's chief operating decision-maker in order to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources by segment and to evaluate its performance.
(y) Implications of the new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS UE)
The following new standards and amendments to existing standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union (EU) that have not yet entered into force for the annual financial reporting period ended 31 December 2022 and have not had an impact or were not applied to the preparation of these financial statements: [IAS 8.30 (a)]

The adoption of the amendments will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 8 – definition of accounting estimates (applicable from 1 January 2023).
The amendment clarifies how companies should distinguish between a change in policy and a change in estimate.
The adoption of the amendments will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements, as this standard is not applicable at the date of preparation of these financial statements. It is estimated that it will not have a significant impact in the future.
Amendment to IAS 12 – Deferred tax – resulting deferred tax related to assets and liabilities resulting from a single transaction (applicable from 1 January 2023).
The amendment narrows the scope of the initial recognition exemption (IRE) so that it does not apply to transactions that give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences.
The adoption of the amendments will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements, as this standard is not applicable at the date of preparation of these financial statements. It is estimated that it will not have a significant impact.
The Group anticipates that the adoption of these standards and amendments to existing standards will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group during the period of initial application.
4. DETERMINING THE FAIR VALUE
Some of the Group's accounting policies and disclosure requirements require the determination of fair value for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. In determining the fair values of assets and liabilities, the Group uses observable market values as much as possible. Fair values are classified into multiple levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the assessment techniques as follows:

(All amounts are in thousand LEI, unless stated otherwise)
The attached notes are integrant part of these consolidated financial statements.

- Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices from active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
- Level 2: inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly (eg: prices) or indirectly (eg: derived from prices);
- Level 3: inputs for assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data.
Fair values were determined for assessment and/or reporting purposes based on the methods described below:
(i) Tangible assets
The fair value of items of tangible fixed assets is based mainly on the cost method considering the particularities of the tangible fixed assets owned by the Group, except for assets in progress, which are accounted for in accordance with the cost model.

These assets have been re-assessed primarily using the cost method. Under the cost-based method, the gross replacement cost was determined using the indirect method. The cost-based method was used for considerations related to the specialization of assets for which the insufficiency of market information and/or the absence of an active market was found.
Special installations, machinery, equipment, measuring and control devices and vehicles are presented in the financial statements at their net value. The company changed the re-assessment registration method on December 31, 2019, moving from the gross to the net method in order to present a clearer, more concise and more relevant picture to the users of the financial statements, without the influence of an artificial distortion of the gross accounting value and depreciation.

The fair value of the Company's land was determined using the direct comparison method.
This method is recommended for properties when there is sufficient and reliable data on transactions or bids for sale of similar properties in the area. The analysis of the prices at which the transactions were carried out or the prices asked or offered for the comparable properties is followed by making corrections to their prices to quantify the differences between the prices paid, asked or offered, caused by the differences between the specific characteristics of each property in part, called items of comparison. The fair value of buildings, equipment and measuring instruments was determined using the cost approach.
This method assumes that the maximum value of an asset for an informed buyer is the amount that is required to buy or build a new asset of equivalent utility. When the asset is not new, all forms of depreciation that can be attributed to it must be deducted from the gross current cost, up to the date of the assessment.

filed against the interim decision no. 10/28.01.2016, pronounced by the Mehedinți Court - Second Civil Section, Administrative and Fiscal Litigation.
With the filing of the debt statement, in the RAAN bankruptcy procedure, CNTEE Transelectrica SA can invoke the provisions of art. 52 of Law no. 85/2006, applicable to the RAAN bankruptcy procedure, provisions taken over from art. 90 of Law no. 85/2014, on the right of the creditor to invoke the compensation of its claim with that of the debtor against him, when the conditions stipulated by the law in the matter of legal compensation are met on the date of the opening of the procedure. Transelectrica SA was entered in the RAAN debtor's table with the amount of 11,265, in the category of claims resulting from the continuation of the debtor's activity. From the amount requested by the Company, 89,361, the amount of 78,096 was not entered in the preliminary table of receivables, on the grounds that "this does not appear as owed in the accounting records of RAAN". Moreover, the trustee in bankruptcy considered that the request to enter the amount of 78,096 in the table is formulated late, being related to the period 2011 - 2013, which is why the debt statement had to be formulated at the time of the opening of the insolvency procedure, respectively on 18.09.2013.
As a result of the partial registration of the total amount requested by Transelectrica in the amount of 89,361 and the address no. 4162/03.10.2016, by which the trustee in bankruptcy informs us that only the amount of 11,265 was entered in the additional table in the category of claims resulting from the continuation of the debtor's activity, and the amount of 78,096 was rejected, an appeal was submitted, within the legal term, to the Additional Claims Table.
At the trial date on 14.02.2019, the Mehedinți Court ordered the connection of file no. 9089/101/2013/a152 to file no. 9089/101/2013/a140 (having as object claims - payment request). The judgment of the file was postponed, as the court considered that it is useful for the settlement of the case to present the Civil Decision no. 2969/26.09.2018, pronounced by the High Court of Cassation and Justice in file no. 3014/2/2014, having as object annulment of ANRE President decision no. 743/2014.
The solution of the Mehedinți Court: "Admits the exception of forfeiture. Admits in part the main action as well as the related appeal. It obliges the defendant RAAN to pay to the plaintiff Transelectrica the amount of 16,950, a claim arising during the procedure, ordering its entry in the list of creditors set up against the debtor RAAN with this amount. Rejects the rest of the related requests. Pursuant to art. 453 para. 2 Civil Procedure Code. Obliges the defendant to pay the plaintiff 1 thousand lei as trial expenses. With appeal. Pronounced today 20.06.2019 in public session". Document: Decision 163/2019 20.06.2019.
Transelectrica filed an appeal within the legal term. The Craiova Court of Appeal set the first trial date on 30.10.2019. The appeal was dismissed as unfounded. Transelectrica filed a review request for contrary decisions, registered under file number 1711/54/2019, with a trial date on 26.03.2020 at the Craiova Court of Appeal and which was to send the file to the High Court of Cassation and Justice for competent settlement.
On 26.03.2020, the trial date was changed, the next being on 21.05.2020.
On 21.05.2020, the case was removed from the list with the following solution: the exception of material incompetence of the Craiova Court of Appeal was admitted and it was ordered that the case be forwarded to the ICCJ - Administrative and Fiscal Litigation Section. Decision 140/21.05.2020. Trial date 02/03/2021.
At the trial date on 02/03/2021, the ICCJ accepted the exception of the lateness of the review request and did not rule on its inadmissibility.
Also, between RAAN and Transelectrica, there are 4 other cases in different stages of trial.
In the bankruptcy file of RAAN registered under no. 9089/101/2013, the Mehedinți Court postponed at the trial dates on 08.10.2020 and 04.02.2021. The solution in short: a trial date was granted for the continuation of the liquidation procedures, the representation of the debtor's interests in the litigation pending before the courts, the consolidation of the statement of affairs, the continuation of measures for the recovery of debts, the continuation of public tenders with the objective of capitalizing the debtor's assets.

The procedure continued at the trial date on 09.02.2023, when the court granted a trial date on June 15, 2023 for the continuation of the procedure, respectively for the collection of claims, the capitalization of assets and the fulfillment of other liquidation operations.
CNTEE Transelectrica SA concluded with CET Govora SA an agreement for compensation and staggered payment of the amounts representing claims from the value of the over-compensation for the period 2011-2013 and the undue bonus for the year 2014 (Agreement no. C135/30.06.2015 and Addendum no. 1/04/08/2015). The duration of the agreement was 1 year (the period July 2015- August 2016) and provided for the right of the Company to calculate and collect penalties during the period of the installment payment.
Based on the agreement, the Company's receivables from CET Govora SA were compensated with the debts to CET Govora SA, represented by the cogeneration bonus for the period May 2014 - October 2015 retained by applying the provisions of art. 17 paragraph 5 of the Order of the President of ANRE no. 116/2013 and the provisions of the Convention, in the amount of 40,508.
As a result of the suspension in court, by Civil Sentence no. 3185/27.11.2015, of ANRE Decision no. 738/28.03.2014 by which the amount of over-compensation was established for the period 2011-2013, CET Govora SA no longer observed the obligations assumed by the Convention.
Starting on May 9, 2016, the general insolvency procedure was opened for CET Govora. In order to recover the receivables that resulted before the opening of the insolvency procedure, the Company followed the specific procedures provided by Law no. 85/2014 - Insolvency Law and requested the court to admit the claims, according to the law. Considering the presented aspects, starting from May 9, 2016, the Company suspended the application of the provisions of art. 17.5 of the Order of the President of ANRE no. 116/2013 for the approval of the Regulation on establishing the method of collecting the contribution for high-efficiency cogeneration and paying the bonus for the electric energy produced in high-efficiency cogeneration and paid monthly to CET Govora the cogeneration bonus.
By Civil Decision no. 2430/05.10.2016, the High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the appeal declared by ANRE against the Civil Sentence no. 3185/27.11.2015, annulled the appealed sentence in part and rejected the request for suspension made by CET Govora, the decision being final. Thus, starting from 05.10.2016, the effects of ANRE Decision no. 738/28.03.2014 are no longer suspended, producing full effects.
Under these conditions, the Company applies the provisions of art. 17 paragraph 5 of ANRE Order no. 116/2013 for mutual debts and claims arising after the insolvency procedure, in the sense of withholding the bonus owed to CET Govora SA up to the concurrent coverage of the sums related to the unpaid support scheme to the Company. Transelectrica was entered in the preliminary and final Table with a claim in the total amount of 28,200, of which the amount of 25,557 is related to the support scheme. We mention the fact that this claim in the amount of 21,962 representing the main debit and penalties related to invoice no. 8116/08.04.2016 is entered under the suspensive condition of the pronouncement of a final court decision in favor of ANRE in file no. 2428/2/2014 pending before the Bucharest Court of Appeal, with the object of canceling ANRE decision no. 738/28.03.2014.
At the trial date on 18.07.2018, Vâlcea Court issued the following solution:

On December 31, 2022, their share in total energy suppliers is 91.73%.
The increase in the balance of "debts related to operational activity" was mainly determined by the increase in the fourth quarter of 2022 of the volume of transactions resulting from the coupling of the electric energy markets.
The increase in the balance of "debts related to the balancing market" was determined by the increase in the volume of transactions registered on the balancing market in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
The decrease in "debts related to the support scheme" to suppliers (producers) was determined by the decrease in the value of the monthly bonus for high-efficiency cogeneration from December 2022, compared to December 2021.
On December 31, 2022, payment obligations to suppliers (producers) are recorded in the amount of 35,549 (RAAN 32,180 and CET Govora SA 3,369), representing the monthly cogeneration bonus, previous over-compensation for the years 2014 and 2015, the bonus not granted for the year 2015. The amounts representing the Company's debts related to the support scheme towards RAAN and CET Govora were withheld for payment based on art. 17 para. 5 of the Order of the President of ANRE no. 116/2013, as the suppliers (producers) register payment obligations towards the Company on the bonus support scheme.
The company requested from the suppliers (producers) who have not paid the over-compensation invoices, the agreement to carry out the compensation of their mutual debts at their minimum level through the Training Center for Personnel from the Industry Busteni - Bucharest Branch which manages all the information received from taxpayers, based on the provisions of the Governmental Decision no. 773/2019.
The producers (RAAN, CET Govora) did not agree with this way of extinguishing mutual claims and debts, which is why the Company applied and continues to apply the provisions of art. 17 para. 5 of the Order of the President of ANRE no. 116/2013 for the approval of the Regulation on establishing the method of collecting the contribution for high-efficiency cogeneration and paying the bonus for the electric energy produced in high-efficiency cogeneration: "if the producer has not fully paid the support scheme to the administrator the obligations of payment resulted in accordance with the provisions of this regulation, the administrator of the support scheme pays the producer the difference between the value of the

CNTEE Transelectrica SA concluded with CET Govora SA an agreement for compensation and staggered payment of the amounts representing claims from the value of the over-compensation for 2011-2013 and the undue bonus for the year 2014 (Agreement no. C 135/30.06.2015 and Addendum no. 1/04/08/2015). The duration of the Agreement was of 1 year (the period July 2015-August 2016) and provided for the right of the Company to calculate and collect penalties during the period of the installment payment.
Based on the Agreement, the Company's receivables from CET Govora SA were compensated with the debts to CET Govora SA, represented by the cogeneration bonus for the period May 2014 - October 2015 retained by applying the provisions of art. 17 paragraph 5 of the Order of the President of ANRE no. 116/2013 and the provisions of the Convention, in the amount of 40,508.
Following the suspension in court, by Civil Sentence no. 3185/27.11.2015, of ANRE Decision no. 738/28.03.2014 by which the amount of over-compensation was established for the period 2011-2013, CET Govora SA no longer observed the obligations assumed by the Convention. Starting with May 9, 2016, the general insolvency procedure was opened for CET Govora. Considering the provisions of Law no. 85/2014 - Insolvency Law, the Company suspended, starting on May 9, 2016, the application of the provisions of art. 17.5 of the Order of the President of ANRE no. 116/2013 for the approval of the Regulation on establishing the method of collecting the contribution for high-efficiency cogeneration and payment of the bonus for the electricity produced in high-efficiency cogeneration and pays monthly to CET Govora the cogeneration bonus due to it. By Civil Decision no. 2430/05.10.2016, the High Court of Cassation and Justice admitted the appeal declared by ANRE against Civil Sentence no. 3185/27.11.2015, annulled the contested sentence in part and rejected the request for suspension made by CET Govora. Thus, starting from 05.10.2016, the effects of ANRE Decision no. 738/28.03.2014 are no longer suspended, producing full effects.
Under these conditions, the Company applies the provisions of art. 17 paragraph 5 of ANRE Order no. 116/ 2013 for mutual debts and claims arising after the insolvency procedure, in the sense of withholding the bonus owed to CET Govora SA until the amounts related to the unpaid support scheme to the Company are met.

Transmission revenues
Revenues from the transmission service registered an increase in 2022 compared to 2021 with the amount of 249,316, determined by the increase in the average tariff for the transmission service approved by ANRE (according to the table on the tariffs approved by ANRE for the analyzed period, previously presented ), under the conditions of the decrease in the amount of electric energy delivered to consumers by 7.41%, respectively by 4,177,948 MWh.
The decrease in the amount of electric energy delivered to consumers was influenced on the one hand by the increase in the prices of primary fuels, a phenomenon that was reflected in the final price of electric energy, and on the other hand by the average monthly temperatures, which systematically registered positive anomalies, being in general above the climatological norms.
Revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacities
Revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacity registered an increase in 2022 compared to 2021, in the amount of 334,479, corresponding to the level of use of interconnection capacity availability by traders on the electric energy market.
The interconnection capacity allocation market is fluctuating, with prices evolving depending on the demand and the need of the electric energy market participants to purchase interconnection capacity. The increase in the analyzed period is due both to the unit price of electric energy which has increased throughout the European Union, causing a large price difference between the coupled markets, as well as to the deficit of electric energy registered at the European level. Implied allocations, in which capacity and energy are provided simultaneously, are strongly influenced by variations in the price of electric energy on the stock exchanges in Europe.
The interconnection capacity allocation mechanism consists in the organization of annual, monthly, daily and intraday tenders. The annual, monthly and intraday ones (only on the border with Serbia) are explicit - only transmission capacity is tendered, and the daily (borders with Hungary, Bulgaria) and intraday (borders with Hungary and Bulgaria) are implicit - they are allocated simultaneously with the energy and capacity, through the coupling mechanism.

The establishment, starting on November 19, 2014, of the regional energy exchange by Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, means that these four countries will end up having a single price for electric energy traded on the spot markets. Capacity allocation between Romania and Hungary, the only country out of the 3 with which Romania has a border, is made by transporters: Transelectrica and MAVIR, through a joint mechanism, based on a bilateral agreement. On June 17, 2021, the Day- Ahead Market in Romania switched to functioning in a coupled mechanism at the European level, with the implementation of the DE-AT-PL-4M MC project, also known as Interim Coupling, the Romania-Hungary border being integrated in the single day-ahead market coupling (SDAC). On June 8, 2022, the launch of the Core FB MC (Core Flow-Based Market Coupling) project took place, thus initiating the day-ahead market coupling based on flows in the Core capacity calculation region. The flow-based market coupling mechanism optimizes the European electric energy market for 13 countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia).
Starting with October 27, 2021, the Romania-Bulgaria border has been integrated into the single day- ahead market coupling (SDAC), with the cross-border capacity between Romania and Bulgaria being implicitly allocated.
Starting with November 2019, the 2nd wave was launched within the single European intraday coupling solution (SIDC Single Intraday Coupling). The unique intraday market coupling mechanism ensures that the selling and buyin bids of market participants in a bid area are continuously matched with bids from within their own bid area and from any other bid area where cross-border capacity is available . Thus, within SIDC, the intraday capacity allocation tenders on the borders with Bulgaria and Hungary are implicit.
Starting from 2016, the UIOSI Use It Or Sell It principle was implemented on the borders with Bulgaria and Hungary, and starting from 2017 also on the border with Serbia. According to this principle, participants who do not use the capacity won in the annual and monthly tenders are remunerated (by Transelectrica) for that capacity. Unused capacity is subsequently sold in daily tenders.
The use of net revenues from the allocation of interconnection capacity is carried out in accordance with the provisions of ANRE Order no. 171/2019 and Regulation (EU) 943/2019 of June 5, 2019 on the internal electric energy market, as a source of investment financing for the modernization and development of interconnection capacity with neighboring systems.
The extension of the coupling of the markets has the effect of standardizing the price of energy in Europe, which is also one of the main objectives of Regulation (EU) 1222/2015 "establishing some guidelines on capacity allocation and congestion management".
Inter TSO Compensation (ITC) revenues
These revenues were higher in the year 2022 compared to the year 2021 with the amount of 786, considering the revenues resulting from the distribution of energy flows at the European level and from the variation of the scheduled exchanges of electric energy with Ukraine. Starting with 01.09.2022, the tariff for exchanges with peripheral countries changed from 0.6 EUR/MWh to 1.2 EUR/MWh, which led to an increase in revenues recorded in the last months of the year.
Revenues from transactions with own technological consumption
Revenues from energy trading for CPT were higher in 2022 compared to 2021 with the amount of 47,813. These revenues were mainly obtained from the sale of surplus energy, resulting from the difference between the long- and medium-term forecast and the short-term forecast on the Intraday Market administered by OPCOM and, respectively, from the difference between the predicted CPT and the actual CPT achieved on the Balancing Market.
In the context of the increase in prices on the entire energy market, on all time horizons, in the conditions of the decrease in the amount of electric energy required for CPT achieved by approx. 12% compared to the value achieved in the previous year, in the analyzed period there was an increase of more than 10 times in the revenues on the Intraday Market compared to the revenues recorded in the similar period of last year. For the Balancing Market, revenues increased by about 1.5 times compared to the same period of the year. Thus, the total revenues obtained from electric energy trading for CPT were about 2.5 times higher compared to the similar period of 2021.
The current price situation on the wholesale electric energy market is significantly different from the situation in previous years, being strongly influenced by the conflict in Ukraine and the international energy crisis. The difference is striking and is evident at the level of the entire European continent, not

only at the level of Romania. The situation at European level has deteriorated rapidly since the beginning of the year, with unprecedented energy stress, especially for electric energy and natural gas.
Revenues from technological system services
The revenues from technological system services registered a decrease in 2022 compared to 2021 with the amount of 134,701, determined both by the decrease in the tariff approved by ANRE for these services (according to the table on the tariffs approved by ANRE for the analyzed periods, previously presented ), as well as the decrease in the amount of electricity delivered to consumers by 7.41%, respectively by 4,177,948 MWh.
In 2022, the revenues from technological system services were higher with the amount of 21,579 compared to the expenses related to the acquisition of technological system services.
For the activity of technological system services, the regulatory framework specific to it contains regularization mechanisms that ensure the compensation of the surplus or deficit of revenues compared to the level of expenses necessary for the performance of the respective activity. Thus, according to ANRE regulations, the income surplus/deficit compared to recognized costs resulting from the performance of 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 income surplus/deficit compared to the costs resulting from the performance of this activity is calculated over tariff programming periods.
Emergency energy assistance to neighboring
The income from emergency aid in the amount of 45,281 was recorded in accordance with the provisions of Contract no. 578/08.03.2022 concluded with UKRENERGO regarding the granting of emergency aid (exported energy) to Ukraine between August and December 2022, following the request of the neighboring TSO. The reason for granting emergency aid to Ukraine was the fact that interzonal voltage oscillations were detected in the Continental Europe interconnection in the east-west direction with very weak depreciation, and the TSO from Spain requested Ukraine, according to the emergency interconnection procedures of the energy systems in Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, to reduce the export balance to 0 MW.
Revenues on the balancing market
The revenues achieved on the balancing market registered an increase in 2022 compared to 2021, with the amount of 1,659,431, mainly determined by the following aspects:
European legislative regulations regarding the energy market and national regulations with a significant impact on the evolution of the electric energy market;
the evolution of the energy market at European and regional level;
the way of contracting on the markets prior to the balancing market;
the evolution of the average price recorded on the balancing market;
the evolution of the negative imbalance registered at the level of electric energy suppliers on the balancing market;
the evolution of hydraulics;

intentional energy exchanges and unintentional energy exchanges (FSKAR calculation methodology Financial Settlement of k f, ACE and Ramping Period) which provides carrying out a financial settlement between the Transmission and System Operators, thus eliminating compensations in kind determined according to the ENTSO-E methodology by the Settlement Centers in Brauweiler (Germany) and Laufenburg (Switzerland), which CNTEE Transelectrica SA traded on the Market for the next day. The respective Settlement Centers will transmit the results to each Transporter and System Operator in the form of daily files containing the intended exchanges and unintentional exchanges (quantities prices) calculated for the respective Transporter and System Operator, on each settlement interval. The set price is the weighted average of the prices from trading on the Day-Ahead Markets in all ENTSO-E member states, the prices being expressed in Euro/MWh. The costs and revenues highlighted in the invoice received from JAO regarding the energy settlement related to unintentional exchanges will be included in the settlement calculation in the Balancing Market, in accordance with the provisions of ANRE Order no. 33/2021, regarding the amendment and completion of the Regulation for the calculation and settlement of imbalances of the parties responsible for balancing single imbalance price, approved by ANRE Order no. 213/2020.
- The revenues, respectively the expenses related to the intentional exchanges of energy (FSKAR- FCP-EU) and the unintentional exchanges of energy (FSKAR-EU) are recorded at the indicators income on the balancing market, respectively expenses on the balancing market, taking into account the modification of the rules of settlement of imbalances on the energy market, intentional and unintentional exchanges being integrated into the settlement mechanism related to the balancing market;
- the application, starting from January 1, 2022, of the rules for compensation of imbalances between all TSOs, according to the IN Platform (Imbalance Netting). In this sense, from 01.01.2022, it was commissioned the European platform, International Grid Control Cooperation (IGCC) or IN Platform (Imbalance Netting) for the process of compensation of imbalances between all TSOs, which performs the automatic frequency restoration process pursuant to part IV of Regulation (EU) 2017/1485.
- We specify that the International Grid Control Cooperation (IGCC) represents the project that was chosen in 2016 by ENTSO-E, to become the future European platform for the imbalance compensation process, as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/ 1485 of the Commission of August 2, 2017 establishing a guideline regarding the operation of the electric energy transmission system (art. 22). The IGCC initiative was started in 2010 by the operators in Germany and later expanded to the level of the central European systems, representing a way of optimizing the secondary regulation of frequency - alternating power, by reducing the actions of the opposite direction of the regulators of the member operators, resulting thus an optimized use of the system reserve "Frequency Restoration Reserve with automatic activation" of the RRF, at the overall level .
aspects regarding the operation of the market:
In 2022, the energy situation at European level has deteriorated significantly compared to previous years, the electric energy deficit being very high due to the overlap of several factors, mainly generated by:
- the natural gas crisis, in the context of the war started by Russia against Ukraine;
- the accentuated increase in prices on the electric energy market at the European level, in the context of the resource crisis, with an impact on the way contracting is carried out on the markets prior to the balancing market at the local and regional level;
- significant increase in prices recorded on the balancing market;
- reduced hydraulics in 2022 compared to 2021 in the context of prolonged drought and very high temperatures throughout Europe (electric energy produced by hydroelectric plants was reduced compared to 2021);
- the very low availability of nuclear power plants in France, which, along with Germany, were the main exporters of electric energy at the European level;
- the evolution of electric energy production and consumption (electric energy production and domestic electric energy consumption decreasing compared to the similar period in 2021);
- the trend of increasing the price of CO2 certificates;
- the common settlement rules for intentional energy exchanges and the common settlement rules for unintentional energy exchanges established according to the provisions of Regulation (EU)

no. 1485 /2017 establishing a guideline regarding the operation of the electric energy transmission system and Regulation (EU) no. 2195/2017 establishing a guideline on balancing the electric energy system .
The regulations implemented in national legislation in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 5, 2019 regarding the electric energy market, settlement at the granularity interval of 15 minutes, application of the single settlement price on the electric energy balancing market, the European context of evolution of the electric energy market, the evolution of the price of CO2 certificates had a significant impact on the evolution of revenues/costs on the balancing market.
For the activity of managing the balancing market, the regulatory framework specific to it contains regularization mechanisms that ensure the compensation of the excess or deficit of revenues relative to the level of expenses necessary for the performance of the respective activity. Thus, according to ANRE regulations, the non-zero monthly balances (income surplus/deficit) resulting from the performance of this activity are to be compensated by ex-post tariff correction (negative/positive) applied by ANRE in the tariff in the years following the one in which they were recorded the respective balances .
Grid losses anticipatory tariff income
According to art. III of the Emergency Governmental Ordinance no. 119/2022 for the amendment and completion of the Emergency Governmental Ordinance no. 27/2022 regarding the measures applicable to final customers in the electric energy and natural gas market in the period April 1, 2022 - March 31, 2023, as well as for the modification and completion of some normative acts in the field of energy, for licensed economic operators, providers of services of electric energy transmision, the additional costs with the purchase of electric energy realized between January 1, 2022 and August 31, 2023, in order to cover the own technological consumption, compared to the costs included in the regulated tariffs, are capitalized, the assets resulting from the capitalization are depreciated on a period of 5 years from the date of capitalization.
Thus, on December 31, 2022, the Company recorded income from CPT capitalization in the amount of 338,527, representing additional CPT calculated as the difference between the net cost with the purchase of CPT and the CPT cost included in the regulatory tariff, for the period January 1 - 31 December 2022.
We specify that this income is of a non-monetary nature, its collection will be done by the Company in stages through the transport tariff in the next five years (2023-2027) in accordance with the relevant legislative provisions .

Expenditures regarding own technological consumption were higher by the amount of 299,949 in 2022 compared to 2021, considering a number of aspects, as follows:
- due to its characteristics, the CPT in the RET is strongly influenced by meteorological conditions, the structure of electric energy production and consumption at the national level, the distribution of electric energy flows in the internal transmission grid and on interconnection lines with neighboring electricity systems , its value being very little/almost not at all controllable under the conditions of an interconnected and coupled regional energy market;
- the average price of energy purchased from PZU was 1,304.67 RON, more than 2.4 times higher in 2022 compared to 2021, with a maximum of 2,399.85 RON/MWh in August 2022, significantly exceeding values recorded in recent years. The same trend was observed at the European level, which had a significant impact on the costs recorded for CPT coverage;
- the unpredictability of the market was manifested by the accentuated and rapid increase of the prices, in the context of the increase in the price of the carbon emissions certificate, of a level of electricity production capacities insufficient to replace the production based on fossil fuels, especially that on coal and gas, in the context of market liberalization and the armed conflict in Ukraine, the lack of competition of producers and competition of suppliers for the purchase of energy, in order to be able to fulfill their contracts ;
- taking into account the fact that the day-ahead markets are coupled within the CORE FB MC mechanism starting from June 2022, the increase in prices on the European level, determined by reduced hydraulics, in the contextof prolonged drought and very high temperatures throughout Europe, as well as the reduced availability of nuclear power plants in France had a significant impact in increasing the electric energy deficit and the costs recorded for CPT coverage;
- the increase in prices on the previous markets, the application of the single settlement price on the balancing market, the transition of the balancing market to the 15-minute settlement interval, led to CPT costs related to the balancing market more than twice higher compared to the similar period of the previous year.
Congestion expenses
Congestions (network restrictions) are requests to transport electric energy beyond the technical capacity limits of the grid, requiring corrective actions from the transmission and system operator and occur when, during operation programming or real-time operation, the flow of power between two nodes or system areas leads to non-compliance with the safety parameters in the operation of an electric power system.
In 2022, expenses related to congestion were recorded in the amount of 343, mainly determined by :
- the congestions recorded in January 2022, which made it necessary to reduce the production in some wind power plants in the south-eastern area of the country, which had as their cause the transit of power through the SEN from Bulgaria to Hungary and Ukraine, on top of which it was also a very high production in CEE. These have determined very high power circulations on the 400 kV Smârdan Gutinaș LEA and on several lines in Moldova and Transylvania, and in certain cases also on the south-north direction of the SEN, respectively exceeding the admissible values of the circulations through the characteristic sections 5 and 6 from SEN;
- the congestions recorded in March 2022 and reflected in the accounting records in April 2022 were caused by the functioning of the energy market. Thus, in order to reduce the transit of power through the SEN from Bulgaria to Hungary and Ukraine, on top of which a very high production in the CEE was superimposed (over 2,500 MW, a value much higher than the notified power) and for the inclusion of the sections in the admissible value characteristics 5, 6 of the SEN, in the conditions of very high power flows on the LEA 400 kV Smârdan Gutinaș (approximately 900 MW) and on several lines from Moldova and Transylvania and on the south- north direction of the SEN, it was necessary to reduce production wind turbines in the Dobrogea area;
- the congestion recorded in April 2022 and reflected in the accounting records in May 2022. Thus, following the activation of the LEA 400 kV Cernavodă Gura Ialomiței circ. 1 temporary Făcăeni derivation, in order to comply with safety criteria in operation, power reductions were necessary due to network congestion at the renewable power plants in the Dobrogea area;
- the congestion recorded in June 2022. In the context of the activation of the 400 kV Țânțareni Sibiu Sud LEA, the 220 kV Paroșeni Târgu Jiu Nord LEA, the 220 kV Reșita Timișoara circ. 2 (in the conditions in which the 220 kV Reșița Timișoara circ. 1 LEA was withdrawn from operation, scheduled), the 400 kV Șânțareni Bradu LEA, the 400 kV Domnești Urechești LEA

in heatwave conditions, power reductions/increases were necessary on grid congestion at power plants in affected areas;
- the congestions recorded in December 2022. In order to meet the synchronism conditions necessary for the reconnection of the 400 kV Isaccea Vulcănești LEA, after the completion of remedial actions for hot spots at the TIF coil in the Vulcănești station, in the context of very high transits of electricity through the SEN, under the conditions of a large export of electric energy from the south-eastern area of Europe to the central area of Europe and a high production in the wind power plants, it was necessary to reduce the production in the wind power plants in the Dobrogea area, due to network congestion. After exhausting the available supply of discounted wind power plants in the Balancing Market, the reduction outside the Balancing Market with financial compensation was also ordered.
Expenses for the electricity consumption in RET substations
In order to carry out the activity of electric energy transmission in the power stations and to operate the National Electroenergetic System in safe conditions, CNTEE Transelectrica SA must purchase electric energy to cover the consumption related to internal services from the high-voltage power stations under the Company's administration.
These expenses registered an increase of 15,010 in the year 2022 compared to the year 2021, an increase due to the increase in electric energy purchase prices and applicable legislative changes starting on July 1, 2021, respectively the provisions of ANRE Order no. 82/2021.
ITC expenses (Inter TSO Compensation)
ITC expenses represent the monthly payment obligations/collection rights for each transmission and system operator (TSO). They are established within the mechanism for compensation/settlement of the effects of the use of the electric transmission grid (RET) for electricity transits between TSO operators in the countries that have joined this mechanism within ENTSO-E. In 2022, these expenses were higher by 15,548 compared to the similar period of the previous year.
Expenses regarding technological system services
The technological system services are purchased by the Company from the producers in order to ensure the maintenance of the safety level in the operation of the SEN and the quality of the electric energy transmitted to the parameters required by the technical norms in force, based on the requirements established by the National Energy Dispatcher (organizational unit from within the Company) which is responsible for ensuring the stability and safety of the SEN operation.
The contracting of these services is carried out both in a competitive regime and in a regulated regime (based on ANRE Decisions), in the case of reserves for reactive energy.
The acquisition of technological system services in a competitive regime is carried out through daily tenders, in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2019/943 of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 5, 2019.
In 2022, the contracting of system technological services in a regulated regime was carried out for reactive energy, according to ANRE Decision no. 1078/2020, being provided by the Hydroelectric Power Production Company "Hidroelectrica" SA.
Expenses with technological system services decreased in 2022 compared to 2021, amounting to 143,000. The purchase prices of technological system services on the competitive market in 2022 remained around the following values:
- the average purchase price of the secondary adjustment reserve at the value of 77.77 RON/MWh;
- the average purchase price of the rapid tertiary adjustment reserve, for power increase, at the value of 38.66 RON/MWh;
- the average purchase price of the rapid tertiary adjusment reserve, at power reduction, at the value of 9.42 RON/MWh.
Also, the year 2022 showed a high level of concentration of the technological system services market for secondary backup technological system services (RS).

The legislative-fiscal framework in Romania and its implementation in practice changes frequently and is subject to different interpretations by various control bodies. Income tax returns are subject to review and corrections by the tax authorities, generally for a period of five years after the date of their completion. The management believes that it has adequately recorded the tax obligations in the financial statements; however, there remains the risk that the tax authorities will take different positions in relation to the interpretation of these matters. Their impact could not be determined at this time.
29. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
On December 31, 2022, the Company had commitments in the amount of 953,150 representing ongoing contracts for investment works related to the modernization and refurbishment of the transmission grid .
Lands used by the Group
According to the Group’s policy, the financial statements only include the value of the lands for which certificates of attestation of the right of ownership were obtained at the date of the financial statements.
According to Law no. 99/1999, if the Company obtains the certificate of attestation of the right of ownership for a land after the moment of privatization, the land will be considered a contribution in kind of the Romanian State.
The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders approved by Resolution no. 7/28.05.2020 the increase in principle of the share capital of CNTEE Transelectrica SA with the in-kind contribution represented by the value of a number of 17 plots of land for which the Company obtained the certificates of attestation of the right of ownership and the submission to the Office of the Trade Registry attached to the Bucharest Court and of the proposal to appoint JPA Audit si Consultanță SRL as an ANEVAR authorized evaluator for the evaluation in accordance with the law on the contribution in kind that is the object of the increase in the share capital .

As a result of the ORCTB's validation of the proposal to the General Meeting of the Shareholders regarding the expert, JPA Audit si Consultanță SRL as ANEVAR authorized evaluator drew up and communicated to the Company the Evaluation Report no. 21278/10.05.2019, updated by the Evaluation Report no. 1158/10.01.2022 in which the fair value of the land is established on 30.09.2021.
Until 31.12.2022, there were different opinions on the application/interpretation of the incident legislation, respectively the privatization legislation and the capital market legislation, and CNTEE Transelectrica SA is in the objective impossibility of increasing the share capital by the value of the 17 lands for which the Company obtained the certificates attesting the right of ownership and for which the expert JPA Audit si Consultanță SRL established a fair value .
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 1,090,831.70, 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 1,090,831.70 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 1,090,831.70 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 3,496,914, withheld from 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.
The subject of file 9089/101/2013/a152 is objection against the Additional liability table of debtor RAAN, the disputed amount being 89,360,986 Lei.
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 being 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. The contestation of the additional liability table as Mehedinti Tribunal admitted the accounting expertise evidence.

Starting from May 1, 2009, reserves from the re-assessment of fixed assets, including land, carried out after January 1, 2004, which are deducted in the calculation of taxable profit by means of fiscal depreciation or expenses related to assets sold and/or scrapped, are taxed simultaneously with the deduction of fiscal depreciation, respectively at the time of the removal from management of these fixed assets, as the case may be.
The reserves made are taxable in the future, in the event of a change in the destination of the reserves in any form, in case of liquidation, merger of the company, including its use to cover accounting losses, with the exception of the transfer, after May 1, 2009, of the reserves mentioned in the previous paragraph.
f) Tariff for electric energy transmission service and system service
The electric energy transmission tariff is set based on a "revenue ceiling" regulatory methodology. With this, ANRE establishes an initial annual target income calculated by summing up the regulated costs and the regulated return on recognized assets. Certain costs included in the regulated cost base are subject to efficiency requirements that limit the level of expenses that can be recovered through the regulated tariff (controllable operating and maintenance expenses, own technological consumption). The series of annual target revenues calculated for a regulatory period is reprofiled through a linearization procedure in order to mitigate possible large increases/decreases in revenue from one tariff year to the next. The income thus reprofiled is adjusted annually with the consumer price index.Certain changes in the pricing mechanism may have a significant impact on the recovery of regulated depreciation of fixed assets included in the regulated asset base .
The year 2022 is the third in the series of five consecutive years that form the fourth period of multi- annual tariff regulation for the electric energy transmission activity (January 1, 2020 December 31, 2024). The main coordinates of this regulatory period were established by ANRE based on the specific regulatory framework, respectively the methodology for establishing the tariff for the electric energy transmission activity. Compared to the previous forms of the methodology on the basis of which the tariffs were established in the previous regulatory period (July 1, 2014 June 30, 2019) and in the transition period from the previous regulatory period to the current regulatory period (July 1, 2019 December 31) 2019), the methodology applicable to setting tariffs in the fourth regulatory period has not undergone substantial changes.
Regarding the fundamental aspects of the methodology (the main elements that make up the regulated income and how it is created, the recovery of operating costs, the recovery and remuneration of the capital invested in regulated assets, the presence and nature of the incentive elements, the method of collecting the regulated income) , they remained unchanged ensuring the continuity and predictability of the regulatory framework. Detailed tariff settings for the entire current multi-year regulatory period were initially set during 2019.
During 2020, in accordance with the applicable methodology, a review of the previously approved period coordinates took place. This review was also necessary in view of the change in the tariff configuration in the sense of merging the tariff for the transmission activity with the tariff related to the functional services

component within the system services activity. The merging of the two mentioned tariffs took place through the absorption in the transport tariff of the tariff related to the functional services component within the system services activity. Thus, it was necessary to review the initial starting settings (Regulated Asset Base) and cost scheduling approved for the regulatory period horizon, to include the assets and costs related to the system functional services activity in the starting settings and in the multi-year programming of the period the fourth regulation. Previously, the programming of the costs related to the activity of system functional services was reviewed and established annually when the tariff for system functional services was approved, the previous methodology did not provide for the establishment and approval of a multi-annual programming for these costs.
In addition to the merging of the two mentioned tariffs, presented above, in the process of reviewing the coordinates of the regulatory period, certain elements initially approved for the transmission activity, such as the investment plan (slightly revised downwards to correct a technical error produced at the initial establishment of programming the program values were initially reported in nominal terms, for the purpose of programming it is necessary to adjust the initially reported values by extracting the estimated inflation for the regulatory period), the value of the Regulated Asset Base on January 1, 2020 (reviewed based on actual investments achieved in the second half of 2019), the starting point and the imposed efficiency slope for controllable operating and maintenance costs subject to efficiency (the starting point was reviewed by including in the multi-year historical average the costs achieved in the second half of 2019 and by elimination from the multi-year historical average of certain costs that were reclassified as uncontrollable costs in the fourth regulatory period, the efficiency slope was reduced from 1.5% to 1.0%), the forecast price for the purchase of electric energy to cover technical losses in the transmission grid (reviewed by indexing with inflation achieved in the second semester of 2019).
In the context of the significant increase in electric energy prices on the wholesale markets starting from the summer of 2021, a series of measures have been implemented at the level of the legislative and regulatory framework with the aim of mitigating the significant impact of this evolution on the costs borne by the operators of public transmission and distribution grids of electric energy with the purchase from the wholesale market of the energy needed to cover own technological consumption in grids:
in accordance with the regulatory framework issued by ANRE, when establishing the transmission tariff that entered into force on January 1, 2022, the revenue component included in the tariff intended to cover the costs of purchasing energy to cover own technological consumption in the transmission grid was increased, compared to the value initially established for the year 2022 within the multiannual programming of costs for the regulatory period 2020- 2024;
in accordance with the legislative framework (Emergency Governmental Ordinance no. 27/2022), on April 1, 2022, an additional increase in the transmission tariff was applied. This increase in the tariff had the role of ensuring the recovery by the Company of the deficit recorded in 2021 between the income included in the tariff and the real cost of electric energy purchased from the wholesale market to cover its own technological consumption in the transmission grid. This measure brought forward the deficit recovery process from 2021, which according to ANRE regulations would have been achieved a year later, namely in 2023;
in accordance with the legislative framework (Emergency Governmental Ordinance no. 119/2022), the measure of capitalization of additional costs with own technological consumption, respectively of the difference between the achieved cost and the cost included in the transmission tariff, was introduced. The recovery through the transmission tariff of this difference is to be carried out in stages over a period of five years. The capitalization measure was established for the period January 1, 2022 - August 30, 2023. For the difference capitalized in 2022, the recovery through the transmission tariff will be achieved in the period 2023-2027.
The cumulative effect of the measures mentioned above was to balance the Company's revenues and costs, in the conditions of the significant increase in the costs of its own technological consumption in the context of the large increase in electric energy prices on the wholesale markets. At the same time, the two increases in the transmission tariff, applied on 1 January and 1 April 2022, also contributed to reducing the pressure that the increased costs exerted on cash flows.

33. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Risk Management
The company is exposed to the following risks arising from financial instruments: market risk (interest rate risk and currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's global management focuses on the unpredictability of the financial market and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. Market risk is the risk that produces changes in market prices, such as currency exchange and interest rate, which will affect the Company's income or the value of holdings of financial instruments.
The company has no formal commitments to combat financial risks. However, financial risks are monitored at management level, focusing on the Company's needs to effectively offset opportunities and threats.
This note presents information regarding the Company's exposure to the aforementioned risks, the objectives, policies and processes related to risk measurement and management, as well as the Company's capital management.
Interest rate risk

The Company's operating cash flows are affected by interest rate fluctuations, primarily as a result of long-term foreign currency loans from external financing banks. The Company has significant long-term variable interest loans with variable interest rates that may expose the Company to cash risk.
The cash risk determined by the interest rate is represented by the risk for the interest and, consequently, the expenses with it, to fluctuate in time.
At the balance sheet date, the ratio between the Company's fixed interest rate and variable interest rate financial instruments is presented below :

The cash risk determined by the interest rate is the risk that the interest and, therefore, the expense with it, will fluctuate over time.
Currency risk
The Company may be exposed to currency exchange rate fluctuations through cash and cash equivalents, long-term loans or trade payables expressed in foreign currencies.
The functional currency of the Company is the Romanian leu. The Company is exposed to currency risk on cash and cash equivalents, purchases and loans made in a currency other than the functional currency. The currencies that expose the Company to this risk are mainly EUR, but also USD. Foreign currency loans and foreign currency debts are subsequently expressed in RON, at the exchange rate from the balance sheet date, communicated by the National Bank of Romania. The resulting differences are included in the profit and loss account, but do not affect cash flow until the debt is liquidated.
The Group's exposure to currency risk, expressed in RON, was :

Credit risk
The credit risk is the risk in which the Company incurs a financial loss as a result of the non-fulfillment of contractual obligations by a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument. This risk mainly results from trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
The treatment of counterparty risk is based on the Company's internal and external success factors. The external success factors - which have an effect on systematically reducing the risk are: the decentralization of the energy sector in which production, transmission, distribution and supply are distinct activities, and the interface for the customer is represented by the supplier, the trading of electric energy on the Romanian market on 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 on the electric energy market.
The financial assets that may subject the Company to collection risk are mainly trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The company has put into practice a series of policies that ensure that the sale of services is carried out to customers with a corresponding collection, by including in commercial contracts their obligation to constitute financial guarantees. The value of receivables, net of adjustments for value losses, represents the maximum amount exposed to collection risk.
The collection risk related to these receivables is limited, as these amounts are mainly owed by state- owned companies.
The maximum exposure to collection risk on the reporting date was:
