The DiEM25 collective in Romania, part of the Movement for Democracy in Europe 2025 – DiEM 25, supports as a partial solution to the current energy crisis the enshrining in law the right to energy and unlimited access to it within the limit of 150 kWh per month for all households.

“At the moment it may seem like an unrealistic goal, but the mathematical reality of the situation with energy prices, restrictions and government overpayments from the state budget is inexorable: The government, instead of allocating 2 billion lei to provide all households in Romania with electricity within 150 kWh per month, undertakes to pay more than 20 billion lei annually to energy oligarchic companies. “, – say representatives of DiEM25, who also launched a petition on this matter.

Here is the calculation:

If each household were allocated 150 kWh for free every month, taking into account the actual consumption, according to ANRE, this would mean a production value of 2.1 billion lei per year.
