The Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development, Andrei Spînu, explained the deficit of electricity. His comments come after Moldelectrica announced yesterday a 74% deficit for today.
“We’ll see what the price is. I always said that the breakdown energy, unfortunately, we cannot know in advance what the price is. You know that Energocom buys on the next-day market, on the Romanian electricity exchange, every day. Today, we had a phenomenon that is still not clear, we had a significant increase in the price of electricity in European markets, including in Romania. Basically, we had increases of 30-40 percent. Energocomul bid a lower price on this exchange and unfortunately could not buy the electricity for the whole day and for all the hours for which it bid, declared Spînu.
