Energy minister, Bogdan Ivan, said that the government is considering reopening the Petrotel Lukoil Refinery in Ploiești, southern Romania, to process a larger quantity of fuel for the domestic market. This would help lower fossil fuel costs, which have risen sharply following the Iran war.
The executive is poised to implement a set of measures to address the fuel market. Aside from Petrotel, a technical overhaul at the Petromidia Refinery in Constanța County has been postponed, and the Petrobrazi Refinery is operating at maximum capacity.
