Romanian electricity consumers seek 7.7 bln lei (1.57 bln euro) in compensations

The compensations will be paid out from the state budget on the basis of a set of support measures designed to fend off the steep rise in electricity and natural gas prices adopted by the government in March 2022, ANRE said in a press release on Thursday.

Out of the total amount requested for the period April 2022 - March 2023, 4.8 billion lei have to be paid to business customers, while 2.9 billion lei shall be paid to households.
