This morning, Romania's National Energy System faced a critical situation, relying heavily on energy imports due to low domestic production. The net energy import reached 3,100 MW, with Hungary supplying a peak of 3,386 MW. Technical issues at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant, particularly with Reactor 1, contributed to the lack of nuclear energy during peak hours. Domestic production was only 3,683 MW against a total consumption of 6,784 MW, highlighting the system's vulnerability and dependence on imports. The low output from renewable sources and fossil fuel plants exacerbated the situation, revealing significant operational risks for the energy network.
