Romania Declares Gas Supply State Of Emergency On Bad Weather

Thus, the gas supply to some companies will be suspended and thermal energy producers will use alternative fuel.

The measure was requested by officials with state-owned gas pipeline operator Transgaz (TGN.RO), due to difficulties in supplying gas to consumers.

According to the ministry, the average temperature countrywide decreased at minus 17.9 Celsius degrees Monday morning.

Romanian government asked the large industrial consumers, mainly from the chemical as well as steel and iron industry, to reduce the natural gas consumption during this period and the thermal plants to use more the fuel oil in order to prevent the increase of gas imports.
