The price of energy for non-household consumers that remain without a supplier will take into account the quotations on the Day Ahead Market of the OPCOM energy exchange, according to an order of the National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) regarding the designation of last resort suppliers.

The status of supplier of last resort (FUI) entitles the respective electricity supplier, for any network area, to provide universal service to domestic and non-household customers receiving universal service.

The designated FUI suppliers have the obligation to publish, in the dedicated section on their website, the prices applied for the supply of electricity in the last resort/universal service regime, for each grid area, according to Agerpres.

The price applied to the customers receiving universal service is established by each provider of last resort, on competitive criteria, taking into account that it should be reasonable, competitive, easily comparable, transparent and non-discriminatory.

“ANRE will designate, at national level, a number of at least 5 suppliers of last resort of electricity (FUI), either at the request of designation sent by a supplier, or by organizing a selection process, if in following the designation requests received from the electricity suppliers, the number of designated FUIs is less than 5,” it is also shown in the ANRE order.
