Cât ne vor costa noile taxe pe apă? Ministerul Mediului anunță un nou mecanism de calcul • Știri Brașov Biz Brasov

The Ministry of Environment plans to restructure water resource tariffs, with annual adjustments based on inflation and regulated increases. Estimated annual revenue is around 138 million lei from 2026 to 2030, aimed at infrastructure maintenance. In 2026, most tariffs will remain unchanged, except for hydroelectric producers facing a 7.32% increase. Starting in 2027, tariffs will adjust for inflation and additional percentage increases. The new tax scheme targets commercial and industrial users, excluding households. The impact on consumer bills remains uncertain, but current contributions to utility prices are outlined, showing a small percentage of total costs. The increases are justified by the need for significant financial resources for maintaining numerous water-related assets.
