The request was made in front of the commission by Bernard Arno, general manager of Distrigaz Sud, Iancu said.

Last week, Distrigaz Sud’s deputy manager, Nicolas Richard said that he sees higher household gas prices in October due to higher costs of gas delivered from Russia.

ANRE has last increased household gas prices on July 1, by 12.5% in average. At the time, Romania’s main distributors Distrigaz Sud and E.ON Gaz Romania said they would request a further hike as the 12.5% increase does not fully cover the costs.

However, Romanian Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu said Thursday that a further household gas increase this fall would be unjustified as crude oil price have decreased on the international markets.
