"For the second quarter of 2009, ANRE evaluated the fixed unitary amount at  RON68.55/MWh. The present document includes ANRE evaluations on the forecasts of  necessary costs for the acquisition of natural gas to be further supplied under  regulated regime (e.n. at prices settled by ANRE), including connected  services," ANRE said.
 
This fixed unitary value excludes excises and VAT, but it fully covers the  suppliers’ gas acquisition and transport expenses.
 
In the second quarter, ANRE envisaged gas prices from domestic output of  RON45.71/MWh, flat from a previous quarter.
 
Also, ANRE forecasts a decrease in the share of the country’s gas imports,  from 25% in the first quarter, to 20% in the second quarter.
 
ANRE said the imported gas prices are seen down in April to June period, at  $370 /1,000 cubic meters, from $480 /1,000 cubic meters in January to April  period.
