The companies within the Association of Large Industrial Energy Consumers (AMCIE) have prepared in the short term for a possible price increase and have already purchased energy for the whole year, the chairman of the Board of Directors of Alro Slatina and the said association, Marian Nastase, told AGERPRES.
Nastase believes that an increase in energy prices may follow, but this will be short-lived and the population will be the most affected.
"I expect there to will be a push in the energy price. We'll see. This year, for example, the end customers are pretty much all secure. (...) I don't know at the population level. At the population level, there's not much you can do", said Marian Nastase.
The president of AMCIE mentioned that large energy consumers no longer need to purchase for this year and considers as "price pressure" situations in which producers condition the sale of energy for next year in a package with energy for the second half of this year.
"In the short term, we are prepared, I tell you. In the short term, all my colleagues in the Association are prepared, we have 100% energy ensured all year round, at the prices we were able to buy. So a big price increase will be passed on to the population," said Marian Nastase.
