The estimated increase ranges from RON 0.25 to RON 0.50 per kWh, as reported by Ziarul Financiar.
The association revised its estimates made in August 2026 following the extension of the electricity market alert situation well beyond initial expectations, as well as changes in its forecasts for gas prices and the exchange rate.
