An appeal will be made to electricity prosumers in Romania to turn off the inverters of their photovoltaic production installations on Easter Sunday, energy minister Sebastian Burduja said after a meeting of the National Energy Command.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, April 20, both Orthodox and Catholic Easter will be celebrated, and if the weather is sunny, the entire European energy system could face challenges, as there will be a simultaneous very high production of solar energy and an extremely low electricity consumption, making it extremely difficult to balance the system.<\/p>\n
“Based on all the data we have analyzed, there is no risk of blackout,” Burduja stressed, as quoted by Profit.ro<\/a>.<\/p>\n At the end of January, the total installed power of prosumer production systems in Romania amounted to over 2,440 MW, being higher than that of commercial photovoltaic parks, of 2,334 MW.<\/p>\n Currently, some estimates from the system indicate the total power of prosumers at over 2,700 MW.<\/p>\n
