The Romanian Energy Minister emphasizes a gradual transition to a liberalized gas market, avoiding sudden price shocks for consumers. No clear timeline or support scheme for vulnerable populations has been established yet. Discussions are ongoing to modify support systems for those in need, including creating a registry for vulnerable consumers. Current support measures under OUG 35/2025 provide financial aid for low-income individuals and families, but the future of energy bills remains uncertain as the government prepares for the end of existing price caps. The focus is on careful planning and targeted assistance for vulnerable groups.
