The Romanian government is considering recalculating the monthly energy aid of 50 lei, aiming for better-targeted support for vulnerable consumers. Discussions are ongoing among the Ministries of Energy, Finance, and European Projects, but no changes have been officially adopted yet. Current regulations remain in effect until December 31, 2026, allowing aid for individuals with specific income thresholds. The Minister of Energy emphasized the need for a registry of vulnerable consumers to ensure aid reaches those in need. If no new regulations are established, the current aid scheme will expire at the end of the year.
