The National Energy Regulatory Agency is extending the fuel price caps in effect since July 24 until an overhaul of the pricing methodology. Till then, a liter of gasoline will cost no more than 19.01 lei at the pump and a liter of diesel will remain capped at 16.89 lei.
The regulator said in a press release that the measure is in line with an amendment to the petroleum legislation adopted by Parliament on July 20 and published in the Official Gazette on August 3. In compliance with the new provisions, the regulator is now initiating an extensive revision of its fuel pricing formulas.
The regulator is inviting anyone interested to submit relevant suggestions by August 24.
