Romania’s minister-delegate for energy Razvan Nicolescu had previously stated that Romania would have its first draft energy strategy by October.
Former Minister-delegate for Energy Constantin Nita planned to select a firm by auction to draw up a new national energy strategy, in order to get an “unbiased standpoint” on the matter.
The country’s current energy strategy, for 2007-2020, is outdated.
