Romania: 3.5% less to electricity price

Residential customers will pay from January 1-th, 2016 with 3.5% less to electricity price , said Wednesday the president of the National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) Havrileţ Niculae, in a meeting with the press. The decision was taken in the regulatory committee, which was held on Wednesday.
   
"I decided a reduction of 3.5% from 1 January to final invoice. Prices distribution decreased by 12% on average, but the share of green certificates from 35 lei (7.77 euro ) to 43 lei lei (9.55 euro )" said Havrileţ.

The share of green certificates to households increased bill after several energy-intensive companies have been exempted from the payment of part of green certificates.
   
"If it had not increased its certified final bill would be reduced by 5.5%," added Havrileţ.
