Statkraft's new office in Bucharest is located close to Piata Romana, not far from the administrative and business center of the capital of Romania.

The very good progress of the liberalization of the Romanian power and gas markets make the country attractive for investment and trading. The combination of geographical location of Romania and the ambitious plans for development of the power sector of the country is a good precondition for cross-border trading and access the markets of all neighboring countries. 

In May 2007 The Romanian energy regulator ANRE granted Statkraft Romania S.R.L with a license for trading and supply with Electric energy.
