What it means for you
Last year the programme cost about 2.5 billion lei. If you own a new car, even one bought on credit, you could lose the compensation, the prime minister said. The criteria are not final, and the money for other costs is still being negotiated with external partners.
What happened
The government plans energy compensation for at least 620,000 households in the cold season. Prime Minister Vasile Tofan says the number of beneficiaries could be even higher than last year. Owning a new car, including one bought on credit, is among the criteria under discussion.
