Bulgaria will reduce electricity production at the Kozlodui nuclear power plant due to a critically low Danube River water level. The Ministry of Energy in Sofia announced the unprecedented drop necessitates the reduction. The Kozlodui plant provides over a third of Bulgaria’s electricity and relies on the Danube for cooling. Lower river levels impact the plant’s ability to safely dissipate heat, forcing the production decrease. This situation raises concerns about potential energy supply challenges for the country. Officials haven’t specified the extent of the production cut, but monitoring the Danube remains crucial.
