Cererea de energie a urcat, miercuri seară, aproape de recordul verii, iar importurile au acoperit aproape o treime din necesar

Romania's energy consumption reached nearly 7,700 MW on Wednesday evening, despite calls for voluntary reductions. The internal production was only 5,321 MW, leading to significant imports. The peak consumption was close to summer records, with hydroelectric plants contributing the most. The government urged energy facilities to maximize output, but the public response to reduce consumption was minimal. The situation is exacerbated by drought affecting energy production, particularly from nuclear sources. Transelectrica reported that the energy system is under pressure but manageable, with no major failure risk at present.
