Bolojan, replică pentru Grindeanu: Deciziile populiste privind centralele pe cărbune pot aduce României corecții de peste un miliard de euro
Interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan rejected Sorin Grindeanu's request to renegotiate the August 31 deadline for closing coal power plants, citing potential financial losses and commitments under the PNRR. Bolojan emphasized that Romania has already achieved the maximum possible in negotiations regarding decarbonization and warned against breaching agreements, which could lead to significant penalties. He noted that necessary investments to replace coal capacities have not been timely executed in several regions. Grindeanu criticized the government's approach, advocating for a law to prevent closing energy production capacities without replacements, highlighting economic risks.
