Values are instantaneous and operatively unvalidated. Updated about once a
minute; this site re-reads the source every 60 seconds.

## Public JSON API

Both endpoints are open, CORS-enabled, and free to query. Please cache rather
than poll faster than once a minute.

- https://consumenergie.ro/api/sen
  Current state. Returns the upstream array of single-key objects. Key fields,
  all in megawatts: CONS national consumption, PROD national generation,
  SOLD cross-border balance (NEGATIVE = export, POSITIVE = import),
  CARB coal, GAZE hydrocarbons, APE hydro, NUCL nuclear, EOLIAN wind,
  FOTO solar, BMASA biomass, ISPOZ storage.
  row1_HARTASEN_DATA is the measurement timestamp in Romanian local time.

- https://consumenergie.ro/api/sen/history?range=today|7d|30d
  Historical series at roughly 10-minute resolution, plus per-day rollups.
  `points[]` carries t, cons, prod, sold and the generation sources.
  `days[]` carries date, soldAvg, state (import|export), consMax, consMin,
  consAvg, renPct.

- https://consumenergie.ro/api/context
  Forecast and context, refreshed every 30 minutes. `demand.series[]` is a
  48-hour hourly consumption forecast ({t, mw, c} with c the population-
  weighted temperature in °C), fitted on the site's own 30-day history with
  the typical error published as `demand.maePct`. `wind` and `solar` carry
  weather-calibrated MW estimates for the fleets, `hydro` the Danube discharge
  at the Iron Gates versus its 30-day mean (Copernicus GloFAS), and `prices`
  the day-ahead PZU hours (ENTSO-E) when available. Timestamps are Bucharest
  wall-clock. All estimates are unofficial and self-describing.

- https://consumenergie.ro/api/news
 Latest news (ingested from public RSS/Atom). Fields: id, url, title, source,
 published_at, summary, tags, severity. Use /api/news/alerts for high-signal items.

## Facts worth knowing when citing this data

- Consumption always equals generation plus net imports. This is a physical
  constraint of a synchronous AC grid, not an accounting convention; verified
  here to a mean error of 0.53 MW across 1031 records. A shortfall therefore
  never appears as a missing number — it appears as shed load, i.e. lower
  consumption.
- A negative SOLD means Romania is exporting; positive means importing.
- Solar (FOTO) reads slightly negative at night because panels draw power.
- Romania interconnects with Bulgaria, Hungary, Serbia, Moldova and Ukraine.
