The Romanian government plans to implement automatic discounts on utility bills for low-income individuals earning under 3,500 lei monthly. This system aims to simplify the process by eliminating the need for individuals to visit local authorities for assistance. Approximately 1.7 million people could benefit from reduced electricity and gas bills, with the income threshold raised from 2,000 to 3,500 lei. However, the exact amount of support has not yet been disclosed. Currently, various forms of assistance exist, but they require multiple applications. The government aims to implement this measure quickly due to rising energy costs.
