România riscă scumpiri la energie după oprirea Reactorului 2 de la Cernavodă. Ce scenarii sunt luate în calcul

The shutdown of Reactor 2 at Cernavodă may lead to increased energy prices in Romania, depending on import levels and renewable energy availability. Estimates suggest that prices could rise significantly, especially during peak evening hours. The impact on consumers could see prices ranging from 1.40 to 1.62 lei/kWh for the period from September 2026 to September 2027. The situation could worsen if imports are limited and production from renewables is low, potentially pushing prices above 5,000 lei/MWh in extreme scenarios. The economic implications of reduced energy production could also affect industrial output and overall economic activity.
