    Romania's Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant Shutdown Affects Regional Electricity Prices

    Due to low Danube water levels, Romania's Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant has temporarily shut down two reactors, reducing Romania's electricity production capacity by approximately 1,400 MW. This situation may increase the need for energy imports and cause price fluctuations on regional markets, affecting countries like Moldova that rely on Romanian electricity. Moldova's Ministry of Energy has advised citizens to save electricity, especially during peak hours from 18:00 to 23:00, to help maintain system stability and reduce the need for more expensive electricity purchases.
