The European Commission will propose initiatives for better electricity circulation in the EU, helping Romania to benefit from cheaper energy.

Ursula von der Leyen announced that the European Commission will launch a package to improve energy networks, aimed at eliminating bottlenecks in infrastructure. Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece are calling for more efficient interconnections to benefit from cheap renewable energy from Western Europe. The energy-intensive industry in these countries is requesting support measures to reduce prices and remain competitive. Additionally, companies accuse Austria of restricting interconnection capacity, which negatively affects the markets in Southeast Europe.
