Traditionally, Romania used to pay the highest prices in Europe for Russian gas, according to Romania-Insider.

But according to the Commission, the cost of Russian gas imported by Romania in Q1 was EUR 13.5 per MWh (megawatt-hour). Less than Russian gas sold on any other market calculated on the same methodology (compared to EUR 16.5/MWh in Bulgaria or EUR 17.5/MWh in Hungary).

Also, according to the same source, the price of Russian-sourced gas imported in Romania had the lowest price compared to all gas sources in all European markets, except for the gas sold by Azerbaijan to Bulgaria.
