Legea decarbonizării sectorului energetic - adoptat de Camera Deputaților cu amendamentul PSD care riscă să blocheze cereri de plată de 5 miliarde de euro

The Romanian Chamber of Deputies approved a law on energy decarbonization, including an amendment requiring new energy capacities before phasing out coal and lignite. This decision received 180 votes in favor, with concerns raised about its impact on PNRR funding. President Nicușor Dan warned he might request a reexamination of the law to avoid losing EU funds. Minister Dragoș Pîslaru criticized the amendment for potentially sabotaging PNRR payments, emphasizing the need for new energy sources before closing existing coal plants. The law was previously passed by the Senate with similar amendments.
