Primul mare oraş din România care a decis să raţionalizeze curentul: Iluminatul stradal va fi oprit pe timpul nopţii "fără favoritism"

The mayor of Iași, Mihai Chirica, announced a nighttime electricity rationing due to the energy crisis, aiming to save about 10 MWh nightly. Similar measures were adopted in Tecuci. The government declared a national alert for August due to decreased energy production caused by drought. The plan excludes critical areas like hospitals and pedestrian zones. Chirica emphasized the need for community vigilance and equitable application of the measures across all neighborhoods. The situation is a response to the low water levels affecting energy generation, particularly at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant.
