“The prices have increased during the past days, because of the weak hydropower production,” Transelectrica’s deputy general manager Marian Cernat told MEDIAFAX.
Romania’s hydropower output declined 8.7% on the year to 10.6 billion KWh in the first seven months, mostly due to the dry weather.
According to Cernat, energy prices on the OPCOM market are likely to increase further, unless the weather changes in the coming period.
