Nuclearelectrica has initiated the restart of Unit 1 at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant after it was shut down due to low water levels in the Danube. The reconnection to the National Energy System is expected by November 6, 2026. Romania has been in an energy alert since August 1, following the shutdown, which also affected hydroelectric production. The company emphasizes the importance of safety and procedural compliance in the restart process. The operation of Unit 1 requires significant water volumes for cooling, impacting the water level in the intake basin, thus delaying the restart of Unit 2 until water levels rise. Nuclearelectrica remains committed to nuclear energy as a reliable, carbon-free source essential for Romania's energy security.
