“Excessive low consumption and energy.” Minister Sebastian Burduja provided details about the state of the national energy system before Easter

The Minister of Energy, Sebastian Burduja, said that, from the data received from Transelectrica, from the energy producers and from the distribution operators, there is no risk of adequacy problems in the national energy system in the context of Easter holidays. “

“Today, of the Flowers, we think of our loved ones, which we celebrate today, and we enjoy a good time, sunny. The consumption of electricity is a low one, specific to the holidays, and with the sunrise the national energy system (SEN) has entered the surplus of production. Easter, we will have small consumption and excessive energy. Despite the alarmist news and constant misinformation, I announce with all the responsibility that we are prepared and there is no risk to the energy system, ”Burduja said on a Facebook post.

The Ministry of Energy estimates that the national energy system will be “on surplus” of Easter.

“At this moment, the instant national consumption is below 4000 MW, and the next week, with the Easter holiday in Orthodox and Catholics, we expect Sen to be on the surplus. For example, last year, on the first Easter day, the national consumption was below 3000 MW, a record, at least for the last 30 years, Source of energy in our country, ”said the minister.

He argues that “I had no problem of adequacy in the system, all working in normal parameters”, and that “it will be now”.

Sebastian Burduja said that last Thursday was organized “an energy command in which we analyzed several scenarios and created action plans”.

“From the data we have up to this hour from Transelectrica, energy producers and distribution operators, there is no risk of adequacy problems in the national energy system in the context of Easter holidays,” says the Minister of Energy.

“We are blessed to have a balanced energy mix”

Sebastian Burduja believes that “we are blessed to have a balanced energy mix, with all the sources of energy at hand.”

“We have flexible groups that can be adapted according to consumption. If the consumption will be very low, we can limit the energy production on the hydropower area (up to 0), we can limit the coal groups from CE Oltenia and to operate only with two groups (a production of 150 MW/group), ELCEN can completely stop the energy production (only the water and the water, Eolian and photovoltaic can be controlled by market mechanisms.

The Liberal said that “this is one of the scenarios, and on Tuesday will be reviewed in the next energy command that I convened.”
