The Ministry is considering expanding production capacities, developing clear market regulations and direct investments in transport and distribution. At the same time, the Energy Minister committed to renegotiating the deadlines for closing coal-fired production capacities by at least 5 years. Thus, Romania will not shut down coal-fired production at the Oltenia Energy Complex on December 31, 2025, as it had been scheduled, until it starts new gas-fired production capacities and develops new storage solutions for solar and wind energy. In addition, the Government in Bucharest is preparing five market reform measures. State-owned companies will have to play an active role in price stability, better guaranteeing energy transactions, cutting technical transport costs, energy efficiency in the economy, in institutions and especially in homes and, very importantly, smart metering and dynamic tariffs. Last week, Minister Ivan threatened suppliers that energy prices could end up being discussed in the Supreme Council for National Defense and urged Romanians to file complaints with the Consumer Protection Agency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TALKS<\/strong> \u2013 Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan has told his coalition partners that if the agreements reached when forming the Government are not respected, it will be difficult for him to do his job as Prime Minister. At the Cotroceni Palace, the presidential headquarters, president Nicu\u015for Dan met with leaders of ruling coalition parties. On Monday, the UDMR leader, Kelemen Hunor, said that the meeting is a normal one for the start of the parliamentary session. Asked if it was related to disagreements in the ruling coalition regarding the local administration reform project, which has been postponed, he said that maintaining dialogue is normal, taking into account the president\u2019s role as mediator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ENERGY \u2013 Energy Minister, Bogdan Ivan, has announced new measures designed to lower electricity prices.
