The European Union is preparing for a scenario of high prices for natural gas this winter. Obviously, filling levels are below those of other years and even below the requirements of the European regulation... we have an average of 73%. The target was 80% by October 1 and 90% anytime between October 1 and December 30, so there wouldn't be pressure on the markets, to increase prices even more... Romania is above the European average, we have surpassed 80%, and Romania will be in good shape regarding deposits. All of this shows that we may face high prices. For the population, no. We have a regulated price, we have 110 lei per megawatt hour, we have the quantities already secured by Romgaz and OMV Petrom, we have physical gas in storage. Asked whether gas prices will increase for the population this winter, Bușoi answered: "For the population, no. We have a regulated price, we have 110 lei per megawatt hour, we have the quantities already secured by Romgaz and OMV Petrom, we have physical gas in storage." So for the population and even for buildings that are in centralized heating, no. For industrial consumers, it is certainly another discussion and here, obviously, we need to see to what extent we can provide support for industrial natural gas consumers. #pretgazelor #iarna2026 #CristianBusoi (translated)
