Burduja: “There is no risk of blackout.” When the largest current wedge in Romania took place

The Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja stated, at Digi24, that there is no risk of a massive energy fall in Romania, like the one that has recently taken place in Spain. Burduja recalled that a single blackout took place in our country, and the damage was huge.

The Minister of Energy gave assurances that an interruption of proportions of the supply of electricity is not a danger in Romania, but Burduja said that, in such a scenario, the damage would be catastrophic, evoking the only Blackout in our country, which took place in May 1977.

“From my point of view, it does not exist. It does not mean that we have to exclude the risks to the national energy system, we have seen what Spain has passed, and Blackout is a terrible scenario. It is a single blackout in the history of Romania, May 10, 1977, a few months after the earthquake in the same year, it lasted six hours, and the damages were 3-4. Blackout.

The minister said that Romania has the advantage that it gets its electricity from various sources, so it is more protected than other countries.

“It rained, we have the accumulation lakes over 82% filled, so the hydro intake will be an important one. We have the nuclear part, the reactor from unit 2, which is in planned maintenance at the end of the month, re -in the system with almost 700 megawatts.

He claimed that fears about a blackout were deliberately fed through a misinformation campaign that took place in an electoral context.

“I know that this word has been carried out in public space, and at the presidential elections, and with a panic effect, go good people to ATMs and get your money from the banks, that you could run out of money. I mean all kinds of misinformation maneuvers.
