The government does not yet have a clear timeline for restarting the nuclear power plant (NPP) Cernavod\u0103, which was fully shut down on August 13, after the first reactor was shut down in July.<\/p>\n
Cernavod\u0103 covers some 18% of Romania’s electricity consumption when it is in operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe managed to get through this period more easily with the help of renewables; we were lucky enough with higher wind power output and the solar parks also helped us a lot (\u2026) We compensated as much as we could for the shutdown of nuclear reactors with new capacities [set up in operations],\u201d Energy Ministry state secretary Cristian Busoi said, cited by Economica<\/a>, during a conference on September 22.<\/p>\n He added that more energy storage facilities would have helped the country better capitalize on its renewable power facilities.<\/p>\n The Cernavod\u0103 nuclear power plant, with an installed capacity of 1,400 MW, has been completely shut down for about a month and a half: one reactor at the end of July and the second on August 13, as a result of the very low flow of the Danube, which reached the lowest level in history.<\/p>\n It is extremely unlikely that the nuclear units will restart this month, with an advanced horizon being October, but it is not known when in October.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The government does not yet have a clear timeline for restarting the nuclear power plant (NPP) Cernavod\u0103, which was fully shut down on August 13, after the first reactor was shut down in July.
