„If temperatures do not decrease further, the state of emergency may be lifted. Transgaz has not taken this decision yet, and we are not out of the woods,” said Ioan Rusu, deputy general manager of Transgaz (TGN.RO).

A commission for natural gas supply safety declared Monday a state of emergency due to extremely cold weather, with temperatures that fell to as low as minus 35 degrees Celsius.

Thus, the gas supply to some industrial clients was ceased and thermal power producers switched to alternative fuels.
