Chisăliţă: Situaţia pe piaţa gazelor va fi mai tensionată în iarnă - Economica.net

Romania is expected to face a more tense gas market situation in the winter of 2026-2027, with potential electricity price increases of up to 20%. Dumitru Chisăliță, president of the Intelligent Energy Association, noted that while a crisis is not anticipated, storage levels are significantly lower than in previous years. Factors contributing to this situation include forecasts of a harsher winter, rising international gas prices, and reduced gas storage levels. Chisăliță outlined three potential scenarios for electricity price increases, ranging from 3-5% to 20%, depending on market conditions and demand. The energy market's liberalization and previous high costs will also influence future pricing.
