Criză la Centrala Nucleară de la Cernavodă. Cum amenință seceta Sistemul Energetic al României

Nuclearelectrica has temporarily decided not to shut down Unit 2 of the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant due to low Danube water levels, which are nearing historical lows. This situation poses significant challenges for Romania's energy system, potentially leading to increased electricity imports and price pressures. The plant's operation is closely monitored, and any further decline in water levels could necessitate a shutdown. The ongoing drought affects energy production, with nuclear energy being a crucial stable source. Experts warn that losing this capacity could lead to reliance on more expensive energy sources, impacting market prices.
