Romanian Electricity Prices Should Hike – E.ON

"We see an increase in the electricity price, we are currently in talks with ANRE (the Romanian Energy Watchdog -e.n.)," Hajdinjak said.

He also said earlier that Romanian household natural gas prices should be higher as of April 1, and they are not likely to decrease this year.

Electricity prices were last increased by 5.3% in July 2008, following a 3.95% increase back in April 2007.

Germany’s energy group E.ON unified early this year its electricity and gas operations on the local market into E.ON Romania holding.
