Ministerul Energiei: Al doilea reactor de la Cernavodă va fi oprit controlat de joi. „ istemul Electroenergetic Național dispune de mai multe resurse pentru acoperirea deficitului”

The second reactor at Cernavodă will be shut down starting Thursday, leading to a 10% reduction in Romania's energy production. The Ministry of Energy assures that alternative sources and imports will cover the deficit. Since August 1, Romania has been in an energy alert due to reduced hydroelectric output and the shutdown of one nuclear unit. The government is urging citizens and businesses to voluntarily reduce energy consumption and has established a legal framework for emergency measures. Wind energy is expected to contribute significantly in the coming days, alongside available hydroelectric resources. The National Energy System has a high cross-border capacity for electricity imports, ensuring energy security amid regional crises.
