Criză energetică și mai mare în Europa? Un eveniment va pune și mai multă presiune pe sisteme pe 12 august • Newsweek România

A rare solar eclipse on August 12 is expected to increase pressure on Europe's already strained energy systems, exacerbated by heatwaves affecting power generation. The European Commission reports that many power plants have had to reduce output due to high temperatures and low water levels. Norway's hydropower reservoirs are at their lowest in 30 years, with little chance of recovery soon. The eclipse could reduce solar energy production significantly, with estimates of a loss of up to 9.7 GW across Europe. Network operators are preparing to balance the system using alternative energy sources, while monitoring weather forecasts closely.
