De ce s-au închis centralele pe cărbune din Complexul Energetic Oltenia

The closure of coal-fired power plants in Romania is a complex issue influenced by financial struggles and EU regulations. The state sought EU approval for a rescue plan for the struggling Complexul Energetic Oltenia, which faced rising CO₂ certificate costs. A restructuring plan was submitted, aiming for gradual closures and new investments, but the European Commission raised concerns about its viability and compliance. The plan's implementation has faced delays, and while some objectives were met, others, like reducing CO₂ emissions and workforce numbers, have not been achieved. The Commission is currently investigating the situation.
