EFT

What EFT does

EFT Furnizare S.R.L. is the Romanian operating subsidiary of EFT Group (Energy Financing Team), a privately-held Anglo-Swiss energy trading and investment conglomerate founded in 1990 in the aftermath of the Berlin Wall transition to market economies. Headquartered in Bucharest at Strada Ion Creanga Nr. 7, the subsidiary holds ANRE supply license No. 2394 and operates as a licensed electricity supplier serving both industrial and residential eligible consumers in Romania. The parent group operates through 18 subsidiaries across Western, Central, and Southeast Europe (Germany, Lithuania, Austria, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Albania, Turkey, Ukraine, and Switzerland), making it one of the most geographically diversified regional energy trading platforms in the region.

The company's technology and operating stack rests on a diversified energy portfolio spanning hydro, wind, thermal, and nuclear generation in Romania and from imports, combined with cross-border trading infrastructure connecting regional exchanges (OPCOM, EEX) and balancing markets. Core products include standard delivery profiles (band energy, peak energy, weekly/weekday/weekend schedules, scheduled and hourly deliveries), derivative instruments (extended/interruptible delivery contracts, emergency energy, location and time swaps, fixed-for-floating price products, options on quantity and price), and grid services (tertiary upward/downward power reserves, balancing market participation). Operational certifications include ISO 9001:2015 quality management (2024) and the ANRE supply license. The product architecture is delivered through direct bilateral contracts, OPCOM organized market participation (PZU day-ahead, PCCB bilateral contracts, PCV centralized purchasing), Transelectrica-administered Balancing Market participation, and the ANRE POSF comparator for residential standard offers.

Commercially, EFT Furnizare generates revenue through two primary streams: (1) electricity supply to eligible consumers (industrial and residential) via bilateral contracts and standardized offers, with annual delivered volumes of 615,000 to 1,083,000 MWh between 2014 and 2020, and (2) cross-border import-export trading and trading with other suppliers and industrial consumers, plus balancing market activity. Customer segments are organized vertically: industrial consumers (primary, including glass, petroleum refining, and cement majors such as Stirom, Lukoil, and Holcim), residential consumers (low/medium voltage standard offers), and energy sector companies (distribution operators and system operators). Pricing is contract-customized rather than publicly disclosed, with the firm collaborating with a major Balancing Responsible Party (PRE) for client cost optimization. Historically, EFT Group recorded EUR 2.17 billion in sales in 2011 delivering 41.2 TWh across 20 countries, illustrating the scale of the broader trading platform that underwrites the Romanian entity's operations.
