AUR apără amendamentele la Legea decarbonizării și cere renegocierea PNRR: Securitatea energetică a României nu poate fi sacrificată

The debate over the amendment of the decarbonization law intensifies after the Senate vote, with AUR emphasizing the importance of coal energy for energy security. AUR rejects USR's criticisms, arguing that the amendments aim to prevent an energy crisis rather than violate PNRR commitments. They call for renegotiation of the deadline for closing coal production capacities, asserting that doing so prematurely is detrimental. AUR's senator warns that the current energy policies have led to a severe energy crisis, criticizing the government's refusal to adjust the PNRR terms. The law was passed with amendments ensuring no closures until new alternatives are operational, raising concerns about potential penalties from the European Commission.
