“Petrom decided to help securing the necessary supply during this difficult situation and increased its imports by over 20% of the deficit estimated by the authorities for the next days,” Petrom told Mediafax.

The decision follows a similar one taken by the state-run natural gas producer Romgaz Medias.

Below freezing temperatures have gripped Romania over the weekend and meteorologists forecast the mercury will fall to minus 27 degrees Celsius before returning to more bearable temperatures Friday.
