From now on, electricity will be cheaper on the free market than on the universal service market, so that people should conclude new contracts on the free market if they want lower prices, Zoltan Nagy-Bege, vice-president of the National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE), told AGERPRES on Monday.
This is in the context in which, from January 1, 2021, the electricity market will be completely liberalized, and consumers who remain with the old contracts will pay higher bills with values between 13% and 26% on the market for universal service (former regulated market).
Asked why prices are rising so much, the ANRE representative pointed out that the market for universal service is a kind of safety net for those who are left without a supplier, so it is normal for prices here to be higher than in the free market.
