Vlad Șendroiu: Românii vor plăti energie mai scumpă

USR deputy Vlad Șendroiu warned that Romanians will face higher energy prices due to two main issues: speculation by energy traders and the current inadequacy of Romania's energy system. Despite calls for reduced energy consumption, electricity demand surged to near summer highs, with imports covering a significant shortfall. The Romanian energy sector is experiencing a critical period marked by low production and delayed investments, raising concerns about the system's resilience amid extreme weather conditions. The combination of drought and heat waves is straining energy resources, particularly affecting hydroelectric production and increasing electricity demand.
