The National Committee for Emergency Situations has extended the alert status for the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant by 30 days due to low Danube water levels and risks of an energy crisis during peak consumption hours. The decision highlights insufficient power reserves to stabilize the energy system. The Ministry of Energy confirmed that the alert is necessary as Units 1 and 2 of the plant cannot be restarted until November 2026. Transelectrica is taking measures to ensure the National Electric System's operation, including increasing production and managing imports. Experts predict that the Danube's flow will rise but remain below historical averages.
