The Romanian Minister of Transport, Ștefan Ovidiu Popa, announced the establishment of a working group to enhance energy security and navigability on the Danube. This initiative follows discussions with the Minister of Energy, Dumitru Chisăliță, focusing on the Bala 2 project, which aims to ensure adequate water supply for the Cernavodă nuclear reactors and improve year-round navigation on the Danube. The project is crucial for maintaining water levels during droughts, ensuring the nuclear plant's operations are not weather-dependent. Prime Minister Luca Niculescu emphasized the need to accelerate the Bala 2 project during a recent visit to Cernavodă, highlighting its importance for energy security and reliable maritime transport in Romania.
