Romania’s power-exchange operator OPCOM SA and its owner Transelectrica SA were sent an antitrust complaint by the European Union over restrictions on foreign entrants to the country’s electricity wholesale market.
Today’s complaint, known as a statement of objections, tells the companies that OPCOM’s practice “discriminates against foreign traders and inhibits competition on the Romanian electricity market,” the Brussels-based European Commission said in an e-mailed statement.
