Natural gas prices in Romania have reached their highest level in nearly four years, nearing 500 lei/MWh. On October 26, 2026, the price was 477 lei/MWh for delivery on October 27. This surge follows a significant increase in European gas prices, driven by supply concerns for the winter and geopolitical tensions. Romania is currently a net gas importer, with storage levels at 88%, above the EU average. The new Energy Minister, Dumitru Chisăliță, opposes the planned liberalization of gas prices for households set for April 2027, citing timing issues and potential price spikes. Experts warn that liberalizing the market without adequate preparation could lead to significant increases in consumer bills.
