The energy transition process is irreversible and Romania must continue it regardless of what happens in the region, said the president of the National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE), George Niculescu, at the 9th edition of the Energy Strategy Summit, an event organized by Energynomics.

“We started this path and it is clear that we must continue it regardless of what happens in our area or in the region. We are continuing our plan”, said Niculescu.

In this context, Romania “must be and will be” the first country in the Black Sea area to have legislation to stimulate investments in this sector, and the port of Constanța will play a crucial role in these developments. That is why all state institutions must overcome all challenges, this is our role, and work together.

According to Niculescu, “investments are the healthy solution” in combating the crisis in the energy sector that has affected Romania and Europe.

“We are ready and we will adapt. We must make every effort to see the successful implementation of all the investments that will come” Niculescu also said.
