Starting April 1, prices for the regulated supply of household consumers served by E.ON Energie Romania will increase by an average 1.5 % and prices for consumers served by GDF SUEZ Energy Romania will decrease by around 9%.
Differences between the two suppliers are due to E.ON’s partial recovery of acquisition costs for gas imported in 2008-2012 and GDF SUEZ Energy Romania’s full recovery of these costs, coupled with a 20% drop in distribution tariffs for Distrigaz Sud Retele.
Romania has deregulated its gas market for non-household consumers at the end of 2014, part of a commitment to the EU and IMF to deregulate its gas and electricity markets.
