As Southeast Europe grapples with high electricity prices, governments in the region are taking measures to alleviate the impact on businesses and households. The Croatian government unveiled a 1.7 billion euro package aimed at assisting households and bolstering the economy in light of surging electricity prices, while the Bulgarian government announced plans to reallocate 350 million euro from six EU operational programmes to subsidize energy costs for both businesses and end-users. Elsewhere in the region, Slovenia's Chamber of Commerce has urged its government to consider implementing an electricity price cap specifically for large companies to curb the decline in industrial output. In Romania, the selling price of electricity is capped at 450 lei ($91.5/92 euro) per MWh until March 31, 2025.
