Romania faces a significant energy deficit following the shutdown of two reactors at the Cernavodă nuclear power plant. To compensate, the country will need to import 2,500-3,000 MW of electricity during peak evening hours. Bulgaria has emerged as the primary source for these crucial power imports, according to Profit.ro data. This situation creates a paradoxical reliance on Sofia for Romanian households' electricity supply. The dependence highlights Romania's vulnerability when domestic energy production is compromised. This import need is a temporary measure to maintain power supply stability, as the reactors undergo maintenance. Further details are available on Profit.ro.
