On Thursday, Prime Minister Nicolae Chuke announced details of electricity prices for next year, which will be included in a draft emergency resolution in the next period.
- “We agreed that we will continue to provide a price of 0.68 lei (not correct 0.68 lei) for citizens who consume up to 100 kilowatts, 0.80 lei for those who consume up to 255 kilowatts. The same price will be for those who consume more than 255 kilowatts before this ceiling, but anything over that will have a different level of payment and the amount you bypassed 1.3 will be taken into account.
- In addition, it was decided to keep this amount at 1 lei per kilowatt for small and medium-sized enterprises, and 1.3 lei for large consumers, after which all these technical elements will be included in the draft emergency order. This was announced by Prime Minister Nikolay Chuke on Thursday in Suceava.
He said electricity generators currently receive additional revenue and a tax will be applied to the generator above certain price levels so that “with the money from the generator tax we can cover the amounts that we use for compensation”.
Answering the question when these measures will be implemented, the Prime Minister said: “Probably, from January 1, we will go for another year.”
Decision in the Coalition on the price of energy / How much we will pay for energy carriers this winter
On Wednesday, coalition leaders decided what the energy price cap and the future of the energy market will look like in 2023. According to HotNews.ro sources, PSD, PNL and UDMR agreed to keep the maximum prices for electricity in 2023, as well as to regulate the market through – a new emergency decree.
Thus, from 2023, the energy market will be regulated by 80%. More precisely, 80% of the energy price will be capped, and the remaining 20% will remain freely negotiated on the stock market. In this regard, the government should issue a new emergency decree, which will come into force on January 1, 2023.
At the same time, in 2023, the limits will be maintained for household consumers:
- up to 100 kWh per month, the tariff is 0.68 lei/kWh – the price in the account is approx. 70 lei
- from 100 kWh to 255 kWh per month, the tariff is 0.8 lei/kWh – the price in the account is approx. 200 lei
- over 255 kWh up to 300 kWh per month, the tariff is 1.3 lei/kWh – the price on the bill is approx. 260 lei
Limits for economic consumers: SMEs, food industry, communal services, pharmacies – 1 lei/kWh, and for large economic consumers the tariff will be 1.3 lei/kWh.
