Whilst a litre of LPG cost approximately 15.40 lei a month ago, drivers are now paying around 2.59 lei more.
Representatives of the National Energy Regulatory Agency (ANRE) explained that the liquefied petroleum gas market is liberalised, and prices are determined by supply and demand. Consequently, the agency does not intervene in the setting of tariffs and does not impose a price cap on this type of fuel.
As for the product’s availability, the agency reported that, as of 3 November, ANRE’s current national stocks would last for approximately 13 days.
Liquefied petroleum gas (a propane-butane mixture) is used as an alternative to petrol and diesel to refuel passenger cars and lorries fitted with gas cylinder equipment. It is also used in domestic settings: for independent heating of country houses and cottages (using gas storage tanks or cylinders); for cooking and water heating (gas hobs and water heaters in areas without a central gas supply).
