The first reactor at Cernavodă has been reconnected to the grid after over three months of inactivity, with Unit 2 starting its restart sequence on November 9, 2026. The Ministry of Energy announced that Unit 2 is expected to be operational by November 10, 2026. Nuclear energy production in Romania resumed on November 6, 2026, with Reactor 1's reconnection, following necessary checks. The first unit was shut down on July 28, 2026, due to low Danube water levels, leading to a complete shutdown on August 13, 2026. Both reactors have a combined capacity of around 700 MW each, contributing significantly to Romania's electricity supply.
