The Romanian government is considering reducing VAT on electricity for vulnerable consumers due to a critical energy situation, with the highest prices in Europe. The proposal includes assessing family income to determine eligibility. Secretary of State Marius Poșa noted that Romania's price trends align with the EU, and efforts are underway to restart energy production units. The country faces significant energy imports and rising costs, with issues affecting various energy sources, including nuclear and hydro. The situation is expected to worsen in winter, with limited production capacity and high gas prices.
