Romania declares a state of alert due to the decline in energy production

by Irina Botu 01.08.2026

Romania has instituted a national state of alert for 30 days, due to the reduction in electricity production caused by prolonged drought and the decrease in the Danube’s flow. The decision was approved by the National Committee for Emergency Situations, reports IPN.

The interim Prime Minister of Romania, Ilie Bolojan, announced that the Government has allocated 7 million lei from the Budget Reserve Fund for intervention works in the Bala – Old Danube bifurcation area. The resources are necessary to maintain the water level that ensures the operation of Group 2 of the Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant.

“Romania, along with other states in the region, is going through a difficult period from an energy standpoint,” declared Ilie Bolojan, specifying that the drought and the significant decrease in the Danube’s flow affect energy production.

The Romanian Prime Minister further stated that the authorities will continue the dialogue with the countries in the region to identify solutions for ensuring the necessary energy supply.

Ilie Bolojan urged public institutions, companies, and citizens to adopt a responsible energy consumption, emphasizing that reducing consumption contributes to maintaining the balance of the energy system.
