Businesses in sectors such as financial services, oil and gas, software development, construction, agriculture and food are the most affected by these measures.

The Immediate remedies for the energy crisis offer only a temporary relief. Hence, we advise Romanian businesses to adopt a forward-thinking approach: embracing the prosumer model. This concept merges the renewable energy production with consumption, paving the way for a long-term solution. This strategy aligns with the European Green Pact and circular economy directives, fostering a transition to renewables sources. In the era of climate change, embracing the prosumer model could unlock a more cost-effective and eco-friendly winter.
