România se pregătește de iarnă cu prețuri record la gaze pe piețele externe / Bușoi: ”Sunt prețuri care nu se vor regăsi la populație, pentru că până la finalul iernii avem preț reglementat, 110 lei/MWh”

Cristian Bușoi, Secretary of State in the Ministry of Energy, confirmed that the upcoming winter may experience low temperatures, but authorities are monitoring gas stock levels. He assured that consumers are protected from price increases due to regulated prices for natural gas. Bușoi acknowledged that gas prices are at record highs, influenced by geopolitical tensions and supply issues. Romania's gas storage is above the European average, and the government is in discussions to ensure adequate supply. The country remains in a state of energy alert due to reduced hydroelectric production caused by low river levels.
