The Electricity and Natural Gas Law no. 123/2012 ("Energy Law") was amended recently via the Government Emergency Ordinance no. 143/2021, with the main purpose of transposing the provisions of the Directive (EU) 2019/944 on common rules for the internal market for electricity and amending Directive 2012/27/EU ("Directive 2019/944") and of ensuring compliance with Regulation (EU) 2019/943 on the internal market for electricity ("Regulation 2019/943").
