Electrica, Romania’s national electricity supplier, is offering free electricity to industrial companies. This offer is contingent on these businesses relocating their operational hours from evenings to daytime. The proposal comes as the national energy system faces significant strain following the shutdown of Unit 1 at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant. The plant’s outage is linked to low water levels in the Danube River, affecting cooling processes. Electrica’s CEO, Alexandru Chiriţă, is urging businesses to cooperate in alleviating the pressure on the grid during peak evening demand. The initiative seeks to balance energy distribution and avoid potential widespread outages during a vulnerable period for the national power supply. Ultimately, this is a temporary measure to address the immediate effects of the Cernavodă plant issue.
