He said the antitrust body and the country’s energy regulator ANRE will work together to lower electricity prices for end consumers to compensate for years of inflated household bills.
“For the first time, we fined a company that held public procurement tenders, [electricity producer] Electrica SA, because its employees facilitated the creation of this electricity distribution cartel. These deals led to additional charges for end consumers and we will work with ANRE to recover these damages,” said Chiritoiu.
