The Minister of Energy, Virgil Popescu, claims that the ANRE order that regulates how estimates are made by electricity distributors must be modified, after he said that he received an electricity bill of 972 lei in his building where no one lives , since it estimates a real consumption of several tens of lei.
The Energy Minister said, on Tuesday afternoon, that he received at his home, where no one has lived for half a year, a bill worth 972 lei for electricity, given that, according to his estimate, the bill for actual consumption would be in somewhere around the amount of 10-15 lei.
He also pointed out that historically consumption did not exceed 200 lei per month, not even in winter.

He stated that if the bill had been less, he would have decided to pay it and get the money back on time, not paying future bills, but, since no one lives there, he decided to make a complaint to the provider who reversed the fracture, since he would have recovered the money in more than a year.
“I have received several complaints about the fact that no discounts have been given on invoices and looking at the invoices of the people who emailed them to me, I saw that most of the invoices are estimates, more or less. Less real than the average consumption of the same type of month And I drew a conclusion: it is a way in which suppliers, together with distributors, if we talk about the same supplier that also distributes and supplies, benefit from amounts paid in advance by customers to finance themselves , be returned for consumption, but charge without interest, practically, and use people’s money without interest, or, in my case, I can think of something else – the supplier is different, the distributor is different – I can think of unfair competition from that supplier who also owns the distribution, just to annoy the customer about the supplier I moved to last year, and this happened, and it made me back down, ”added the minister. to.
In the context of what happened to him, Virgil Popescu stated that the order of the National Energy Regulatory Authority on the estimates made by those who provide these services must be modified.
“I understand that monthly readings cannot be made and that estimates must be made, but I understand that these estimates must be made based on a consumption history and a consumption history in months of the same type. That is why I believe that ANRE’s request for 2014 clearly needs to be redone because it says how the readings are done, how many times the readings are done, how the regularizations are made and I think it needs to be updated, in 2021, to take into account current market conditions, liberalization ” I think in my case it is such a hard blow for the supplier from the distributor, uploading an invoice and wanting to upset the customer with the supplier, “added Popescu.
