Primul oraş din România care va rămâne fără apă timp de 24 de ore din cauza secetei

Galați is set to experience a 24-hour water outage due to drought, as the water intake from the Danube is non-operational. Energy prices are also rising, with electricity bills expected to increase by up to 30% due to higher import costs and renewed contracts. Families may see significant hikes in their monthly expenses, with some suppliers offering rates as high as 1.8 lei per kWh. The situation is exacerbated by the shutdown of reactor 2 at Cernavodă, leading to increased reliance on costly imports. Consumers can switch electricity providers without penalties, with the process taking about 24 hours.
