Romania’s interim Prime Minister, Ilie Bolojan, warned citizens of significant impacts to the national energy system following the shutdown of both reactors at the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant. The plant was taken offline due to low water levels in the Danube River, which are crucial for the facility’s cooling systems. Bolojan advised Romanians to reduce their energy consumption, particularly during evening hours, to mitigate potential strain on the grid. The situation highlights Romania’s vulnerability concerning water levels and reliance on the nuclear plant for electricity generation. Further details regarding the duration of the shutdown and potential alternative energy sources were not immediately available. The government is assessing the situation and working to ensure stable energy supply during this period. This incident underscores the challenges presented by climate change and its effect on critical infrastructure.
