Romania is delayed in adopting new legislation to protect vulnerable energy consumers, with current provisions expiring in December. Minister Florin Manole states that new legislation must be ready by January 2027, with a project completion estimate of one to one and a half months. This new law is also a commitment to the World Bank, linked to a €500 million loan received in late 2025. Manole acknowledges the delay and the absence of a draft from the previous minister. The urgency for new regulations is emphasized as the current support mechanism ends soon, necessitating swift action to meet obligations to the World Bank.
