Avertisment privind facturile la curent. Fost ministru al Energiei explică efectele opririi reactoarelor de la Cernavodă

The reduction in energy production at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant due to low Danube levels may raise electricity prices if high demand coincides with reactor shutdowns. Former Energy Minister Răzvan Nicolescu warns that a supply-demand imbalance could lead to higher bills. He suggests that while other energy sources could compensate for the deficit, challenges remain. Nicolescu estimates the low water levels will last about a week, but increased energy consumption during hot weather could exacerbate price impacts. Authorities are seeking solutions to alleviate pressure on the energy system by limiting peak consumption and utilizing alternative production capacities.
