Dian Popescu, după oprirea centralei de la Cernavodă: ”Mâine vom avea cel mai mare preț al energiei din 2026”

Energy expert Dian Popescu warned that the shutdown of the Cernavodă nuclear plant could significantly impact Romania's energy system, predicting a peak electricity price of 411 euros/MWh on Tuesday, the highest since 2026. He clarified that the disconnection was not a manual decision but an automatic safety response due to repeated power drops. Popescu emphasized that the lack of maintenance during the reactor's downtime likely contributed to the incident, which has raised concerns about future energy stability.
