The law established a legal framework for establishing the free functioning of the National Energy Regulatory authority (ANRE, which replaced the Romanian National Energy Conservation Authority) to regulate electricity and heat production and its use to enable optimal use of primary energy sources, ensure availability and affordability, safety, quality and environmental protection based on the National Energy Strategy.It also established a framework for cogeneration, diversification of energy resources, transparency of tariffs prices and taxes, promotion of renewable energy and reduction in consumption.
The law was amended on May 19, 2020, by Government Emergency Ordinance no. 74/2020 to expand the possibility of contracting power purchase agreements. This Ordinance was motivated by the desire to improve the uptake of renewable energy in the country.
