Local authorities face a shortfall of 300 million lei for heating fuel this winter, prompting government loan offers. The draft emergency ordinance outlines support for public service continuity in thermal energy supply.

The loans aim to cover costs related to thermal energy production and distribution, with specific repayment terms and limits based on the number of households served.
