Măsuri pentru criza fără precedent de la Cernavodă. Curs deviat şi energie gratuită timp de 4 ore

The Romanian government has declared a state of alert due to an unprecedented energy crisis caused by low Danube water levels, affecting the Cernavodă nuclear power plant. Measures include redirecting the Bala arm of the Danube to ensure cooling water supply and offering large consumers four hours of free energy daily if they shift usage to off-peak hours. The situation is exacerbated by ongoing drought conditions, with forecasts predicting continued low water levels and extreme heat. The energy crisis also impacts river transport, as navigational conditions worsen due to the low water levels.
