Romania Prepares to Impose Restrictions on Industry Due to the Risk of Power Shortages — Digi24
In Romania, amid the threat of an electricity shortage, a mechanism for potentially restricting power supplies to industrial consumers has been agreed upon. At the same time, authorities state that there is currently no need to implement these measures.
The new mechanism is intended to help stabilize the power grid should the situation deteriorate and the load on the grid increase significantly. Restrictions would apply only to certain industrial enterprises in the event of a critical electricity shortage.
On Thursday, the Romanian government approved the Energy Risk Preparedness Plan, which outlines the procedure to follow in the event of a serious electricity shortage.
In such a case, Transelectrica will be able to restrict supply to large industrial consumers, notifying them 24 hours in advance of these actions. Such measures are possible if the forecasted consumption for certain days indicates that the country cannot meet the entire demand.
At the same time, officials note that this is currently a long-term plan and no such measures are planned at this time.
On Thursday, an operation is underway in Romania to sink barges in the Danube to alleviate the situation for the Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant, which is on the verge of shutdown due to extremely low water levels.
