Ziua se exportă masiv electricitate, iar seara suntem rugați să stingem becul. Cum am ajuns aici

Romania faces a paradox of exporting electricity during the day while importing at night, leading to calls for reduced consumption. The country relies heavily on solar energy, which diminishes after sunset, causing a spike in import prices. The energy crisis stems from the closure of conventional power plants without adequate backup or storage solutions. Since 2010, significant renewable energy investments occurred, but nearly 8,000 MW of predictable capacity was lost. Recent developments show a shift towards new gas and hydro plants, but the lack of timely replacements for closed facilities has left the system less flexible. The issue lies not in renewable investments but in the failure to maintain a balanced energy mix.
