România renunță la închiderea Turceni 5 asumată prin PNRR. Ministerul Energiei: „Produce mai multă valoare decât penalitățile”

The Turceni 5 and Rovinari 4 energy groups have been restarted and are operating at full capacity. Despite Romania's commitment to the European Commission to close Turceni 5 by August 31, the Energy Ministry emphasizes its continued operation due to current energy system conditions. The group is expected to produce significant energy, especially during peak consumption periods, and its closure is deemed unwise given the ongoing energy crisis. Turceni 5, which generates around 220 MW, may remain operational beyond the deadline, impacting Romania's PNRR funding.
