Additionally, the authorities will make sure that “new bilateral contracts are made transparently and non-discriminately through the energy market OPCOM,” the document, obtained by Mediafax, noted.
The issue of bilateral energy and gas contracts has been intensively debated over the last years.
Hidroelectrica, a key player in the segment, has been repeatedly accused of selling power at prices lower than the market rates and of keeping the contracts confidential.
Several attempts to make the contracts public have been blocked by the companies that signed contracts with Hidroelectrica, but some of the details were recently released by investment fund Fondul Proprietatea (FP.RO), a minority holder in several energy companies.
