The National Energy Regulatory Authority proposes, for the fifth regulatory period, a value of 6.75% for the regulated rate of return on invested capital applied to the establishment of tariffs for electricity and natural gas transmission and distribution services. Currently, namely the fourth regulatory period, the RRR is 6.39%, according to investenergy.ro.

The same RRR value of the invested capital was maintained for the year 2024, which represents the transition period for distribution tariffs from the fourth to the fifth regulatory period. A draft ANRE Order on the establishment of the regulated rate of return on invested capital applied to the approval of tariffs for electricity and natural gas transmission and distribution services, for the fifth regulatory period, is in public consultation.

The proposed value is higher than the one in force, a fact that will positively influence the level of investments in the electricity and natural gas networks, by ensuring an appropriate level of return on invested capital, ANRE claims.
