Romgaz, one of Romania\u2019s most important state-owned energy companies, is set to become a natural gas supplier and expand abroad, in line with new goals set by the Ministry of Energy.<\/p>\n
If the procurement and implementation procedures proceed according to the established schedule, the first offers established by Romgaz for residential and small non-residential consumers will be available in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ministry of Energy welcomes the strategic initiative of Romgaz, Romania\u2019s emblematic energy company, to expand its activity to supply natural gas to residential and non-residential customers. This decision comes at a crucial time for our country, in a challenging regional context but also with significant opportunities,\u201d the Ministry of Energy stated in a press release.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to ministry officials, the project will ensure access to natural gas delivered under competitive conditions for as many Romanians as possible, strengthen Romania’s energy security, and contribute to the digitalization of the energy sector, preparing it for future challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough this initiative, the company is expanding its horizons and reaffirming that our country\u2019s energy must be safe and accessible for all Romanians and Romanian companies. Romgaz will become the second major company in the Ministry of Energy’s portfolio to enter the Romanian supply market, after Hidroelectrica,\u201d said energy minister Sebastian Burduja, according to Agerpres<\/a>.<\/p>\n The minister also stated that he mandated the two companies to expand their supply operations to other regional markets in the medium term.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are preparing a series of legislative changes to encourage demand-side management and demand-response systems, including differentiated tariffs to support balancing energy supply and demand at the best prices for customers,\u201d Burduja added.<\/p>\n To reach its new goals, Romgaz launched a tender to purchase and implement a special IT platform for the supply of gas and energy to an “unlimited” number of end consumers. This includes its own web portal dedicated to supply customers, through which they can sign contracts and pay bills. The platform could be operational in August or September 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n
