România a înregistrat miercuri seară unul dintre cele mai ridicate niveluri ale consumului de energie electrică din această vară, deși Guvernul a făcut apel la economisire

Despite calls for voluntary energy consumption reduction, Romania's electricity demand surged to nearly 7,700 MW on Wednesday evening, nearing summer highs. The internal production was only 5,321 MW, leading to significant imports. The government urged power plants to maximize output, especially during peak hours, but the response from the public and businesses was insufficient to lower consumption significantly. The situation is exacerbated by the shutdown of a nuclear unit due to low water levels in the Danube, and the overall energy system is under pressure due to severe drought conditions.
