ANALIZĂ | România are aproape 19 GW instalați, dar produce doar 6,9 GW în zilele critice. Seceta scoate la iveală vulnerabilitățile sistemului energetic

Romania faces a significant energy crisis due to drought and outdated infrastructure, prompting calls for reduced electricity consumption. An analysis highlights the gap between installed capacity and actual production, revealing vulnerabilities in the energy sector. While renewable energy has increased, investments in flexible capacities have lagged. Modernizing existing hydroelectric plants could yield substantial energy gains at lower costs, utilizing current resources more efficiently. This approach could integrate hydro, solar, and wind energy, enhancing system flexibility and reducing environmental impact. However, modernization must respect ecological standards.
