Romanian Econ Min: Natural Gas Consumption To Drop In The Next Days

Local consumption rose to a record 72.7 million cubic meters Wednesday, due to extremely cold weather.

Around 50% of the natural gas in Romania is produced locally, while the reminder comes from existing stocks and imports. Russia’s giant Gazprom delivers most of the gas imported by the eastern European country.

Meteorologists Thursday issued an advisory for heavy snow and blizzards valid until Sunday evening. Temperatures are forecast to drop to minus 27 degrees Celsius.
