“The lower production, which led to lower prices, has eased the implementation of the deregulation calendar for electricity prices,” ANRE’s president Niculae Havrilet said.
Speaking at the Mediafax Talks about Energy conference, Havrilet said electricity prices on the energy exchange have dropped by 100 lei (EUR22.34) on the year to RON140-RON150 per megawatt hour.
Under a multi-billion loan agreement with the International Monetary Fund, the EU and the World Bank, Romania has pledged to deregulate gas and electricity prices and align them to European levels by 2018.
