Hidroelectrica faces significant challenges due to low water reserves in accumulation lakes, impacted by severe drought. The company cannot independently cover potential energy deficits in the National Energy System. Romania is expected to enter winter 2026-2027 with the lowest hydroelectric reserves in 18 years, with current levels at just over 42%. This situation has forced Hidroelectrica to draw additional water from reserves and purchase electricity to meet contractual obligations. The company emphasizes its role in balancing the energy system alongside other producers, as it cannot solely address energy shortages.
