Romania's Cernavodă reactors offline until late September; imports cover 1.3 GW gap

Romania's Cernavodă nuclear reactors will likely remain offline until end-September due to low Danube water flow, forcing continued electricity imports of 1,200-1,300 MW during peak hours. The Energy Command will reassess after September 15; supply security is not at risk, but the prolonged outage tightens regional power balances.
