Ionelia Priescu (deputat AUR): „Au închis minele și termocentralele, au pierdut specialiștii, iar acum cheamă pensionarii de acasă să salveze sistemul energetic”

The shutdown of Cernavodă reactors and the reactivation of Rovinari 4 highlight failures in Romania's energy policies. The country faces a shortage of skilled workers, leading to calls for retired personnel to restart coal plants. This situation reflects the consequences of closing energy capacities without preparing replacements. Warnings about personnel deficits have been ignored, resulting in a reliance on pensioners to operate facilities. The Energy Ministry's decision to reactivate Rovinari aims to address production deficits caused by the Cernavodă shutdown. AUR emphasizes the need for a strategic approach to energy policy, advocating for building capacities before closing them.
