"For the second quarter of 2009, ANRE evaluated the fixed unitary amount at RON68.55/MWh. The present document includes ANRE evaluations on the forecasts of necessary costs for the acquisition of natural gas to be further supplied under regulated regime (e.n. at prices settled by ANRE), including connected services," ANRE said.

This fixed unitary value excludes excises and VAT, but it fully covers the suppliers’ gas acquisition and transport expenses.
