Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar has warned that Hungary is experiencing “one of the worst energy crises in decades.” The crisis stems from record-low water levels in the Danube River, which poses a threat to the Paks Nuclear Power Plant. Reduced Danube levels could force a full shutdown of the plant, significantly impacting Hungary’s energy supply. The Paks plant relies on the river for cooling, and insufficient water levels compromise its operational safety. This situation raises concerns about potential energy shortages and price increases. Officials are closely monitoring the situation and preparing for potential contingencies, but the outlook remains critical as the river continues to fall.
