Bruxelles-ul închide ușa termocentralelor României: Riscul energetic nu a fost demonstrat, PNRR nu mai poate fi renegociat

The European Commission believes Romania has not proven that closing coal power plants on schedule would jeopardize electricity supply, contradicting Transelectrica's assessment. The dispute centers on the adequacy study and ACER's opinion, which highlights risks in Romania's energy transition. Transelectrica recommends keeping some coal units operational to avoid capacity deficits, while the Commission sees methodological issues in the study. Romania faces a tight timeline for PNRR commitments, with potential penalties for unilateral delays in coal plant closures. The situation poses a dilemma between energy security and European funding.
