Cold Weather Drives Gas Consumption To Record High In Romania
Romanian natural gas consumption rose by 20% to a record 70 million cubic meters a day on average, due to extremely cold temperatures that have gripped the country over the past days, an official of the Economy Minister said Tuesday.
“The consumption has reached historic levels…The stored gas has been supplemented with imports,” said Claudiu Stafie, state secretary with the ministry.
The ministry official said Romania imported 17.5 million cubic meters of natural gas Tuesday and the volumes are estimated to reach 20 million cubic meters Wednesday.
Stafie said the situation is manageable and there is no need to declare emergency.
