Producer: Petruta Dinu - The project to amend the emergency ordinance that sets a maximum price for electricity of 1.30 lei per kWh was adopted on Wednesday by the Chamber of Deputies, as a decision-making body. The normative act is to be promulgated, RRA correspondent Iulia Gherman reports.

Reporter: AUR Deputy Lucian Puscasu declared that through the new regulations, approved in the draft law, the energy market will be disrupted again, and the billing of energy consumption will be applied discretionarily.

Lucian Puscasu, AUR deputy: The government reiterates social, professional categories or using other criteria, to which it grants, in a total lack of dignity, in the form of notices from the government, subsidized prices for energy according to unfounded criteria and using complex rules, difficult to implement.

Reporter: On the other hand, the liberal Florin Roman believes that the new form of the emergency ordinance is beneficial for domestic and industrial consumers.

Florin Roman, PNL deputy: In adopted form, those who announced a vote against will vote, for example, against the lowest price for single-parent families, schools, kindergartens, nurseries, hospitals that were at risk of closing.

Reporter: From the rostrum of the Parliament, however, the draft law was vehemently criticized by USR parliamentarians, who accuse the current governing coalition of sabotaging the economy and the energy system.

According to the draft law, the capped price will be applied depending on the consumption achieved, but it will not be higher than 1.3 lei per kWh. At the same time, a customer will only have capped consumption for a single place of consumption.
