State budget funds from the 50% quota of dividends received from Transgaz will contribute to supporting the package of measures in the energy field for protecting the population from the effects of the price increase. On the other hand, just as in the case of Nuclearelectrica and Romgaz, the 50% difference will be kept by the company in order to support investment projects for modernizing and extending the infrastructure it manages," said the Government spokesman, Dan Carbunaru, during a press conference at Victoria Palace, Agerpres.ro informs.
