Bulgarian MEP Tsvetelina Penkova highlighted that Romania and Bulgaria face high electricity prices due to insufficient connectivity with the European market. She noted that summer cooperation with Greece helped stabilize energy supply and prices, but the situation worsened in autumn. Penkova emphasized the need for better interconnection to reduce prices and mentioned ongoing efforts in the European Parliament to improve energy network regulations. She clarified that the issue is not a lack of natural gas but high prices, urging for swift actions to explore local reserves.
