Riscul unor noi presiuni în sectorul energetic european din cauza El Niño

Nuclearelectrica in Romania has halted operations at its second reactor due to low water levels in the Danube, impacting energy production. This situation highlights the growing dependence of energy systems on water availability, especially amid a strong El Niño phenomenon. The potential effects of El Niño could complicate energy markets, with Europe facing increased LNG import needs despite possible milder winter temperatures. Additionally, hydroelectric production in Latin America and renewable energy sources in India may suffer due to changing weather patterns. Transport restrictions in the Panama Canal could further exacerbate energy supply challenges.
