In 2012, the utility reported consolidated sales of RON5.2 billion.
Gas and power sale volumes fell 13% to 29.4 terawatt-hours in 2013, E.ON Romania’s chief executive Frank Hajdinjak told a news conference.
Hajdinjak said the company’s profit also declined compared with 2012, but didn’t give an exact figure.
E.ON Romania expects its sales will increase in 2014, supported by higher prices of gas and electricity on the back of a deregulation process in the local market. However, sale volumes are projected to stagnate year-on-year.
Hajdinjak said the energy deregulation process in Romania is unfolding too fast and consumers cannot keep up with the high prices.
“The deregulation process is too fast and it’s killing consumers. It should be stopped,” he told reporters.
