Romania’s updated Energy Strategy 2025-2035 includes keeping affordable energy prices

Published on

The updated version of Romania’s Energy Strategy 2025-2035 provides, among other things, for keeping affordable energy prices in place and supporting economic competitiveness, developing energy storage facilities and encouraging the growth of domestic consumption under efficient circumstances, according to the Ministry of Energy.

The draft of the updated „Romania’s Energy Strategy 2025-2035 toward 2050” document is posted on the website of the Ministry of Energy, the section „Transparency and integrity – Decision-making transparency.”

„The previous energy strategy was adopted 17 years ago, for 2007-2020. Therefore, there was a pressing need to adopt a new programmatic document. Among the novelties of the strategy, I would list: the imperative of safeguarding the energy security of Moldova; focusing on lowering energy prices for household and industrial users; developing storage facilities; cyber-security and the construction of a local supply chain with technologies and materials necessary for the green transition. I would like to remark that this strategy was developed by experts from the Ministry of Energy together with those from companies and bodies operating under its authority, as well as by the members of the Honorary Council for Energy. Not a single penny from the national budget was used for external consultancy,” Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja is quoted as saying in a press statement released by the Ministry of Energy on Friday.

In the view of the relevant ministry, among the need to accelerate the green transition and improve energy security, Romania’s new energy strategy aims to ensure complementarity between maintaining affordable prices and supporting economic competitiveness; a gradual transition from fossil fuels to renewable and/or low-carbon energy resources; developing storage facilities; improving energy efficiency; diversifying domestic energy resources; strengthening energy transmission and distribution networks; encouraging an increase in efficient domestic usage; flexibility of networks and the creation of a competitive and highly-performing market that places users at its core.
