The representatives of heating distributor RADET said in a statement that Romgaz announced Friday it is ceasing natural gas supplies to ELCEN over unpaid debts and Bucharest citizens might be left without heating and hot water unless authorities take quick measures to solve the problem.
In his turn, Bucharest interim mayor Stefanel Marin said that they managed to solve the problem for two weeks, after the payment of certain debts, but they will have to make a decision as soon as possible as there is no money left at the budget for subventions.
Energy Minister Andrei Gerea gave assurance that Bucharest citizens won’t be left without heating and hot water this winter.
