PPC blue launches 'Charge and Win' campaign to shift EV charging off‑peak in Romania

Romanian electricity provider PPC blue has opened a "Charge and Win" promotion that runs from 5 – 31 August 2026. The voluntary scheme encourages owners of electric vehicles to start charging between 11:00 and 15:00, when solar generation is high, and to avoid the critical 19:00 – 22:00 peak period identified by the national grid. Participants who charge at least 5 kWh in the designated window are automatically entered into a draw for 26 eMAG vouchers worth a total of 7,500 lei.

The campaign responds to a request from the Ministry of Energy to temporarily reduce evening demand and supports the grid’s balance and safety. Andreea‑Dana Popescu, Director General of PPC blue Romania, said: "Electric mobility can become an active partner of the energy system, not just a consumer. Through the 'Charge and Win' campaign we join the authorities' effort to ease peak‑hour pressure and give drivers a reason to charge when green energy is abundant."
