Cap on energy prices will remain unchanged until March 2025, Romanian Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja announced. That means Romanian consumers will continue paying the EU’s fourth cheapest gas prices.
After March 2025 adjustments to the pricing scheme may occur depending on market dynamics, Bursuja added, noting that the aim is to better target support towards vulnerable Romanians.
The transition will be “gradual, transparent and predictable” because it is important to ensure “the stability” of the energy market, Burduja said, according to Agerpres.
Burduja highlighted that the price caps have enabled Romanian consumers to access gas at the fourth cheapest rates in the European Union.
Regarding electricity, over five million households benefit from a monthly bill of 35 lei (€7), “a reasonable bill”, the minister said.
He also noted that many energy suppliers currently offer prices below the government-set ceiling, allowing consumers to easily switch contracts if dissatisfied.
