Recently on Buna seara Romania at Euronews Romania, Eugenia Gusilov discussed the new amendments to the energy support scheme, focusing on the expansion of beneficiary categories and the option to refer to the current year consumption rather than exclusively last year for subsidized pricing eligibility.
She also addressed how consumers are currently paying the price for smart meters with remote automatic reading not being installed on time. During the pandemic, distributors failed to perform classic meter readings, resulting in delayed bill adjustments for the past one to two years instead of regular intervals, which further fuels an already tense situation.
