Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The prolonged shutdown of the two reactors increases the risk of higher electricity prices in the coming months. Bușoi noted that this adds to the overall situation in the European Union amid already high gas prices. Officials have warned of the need to prepare for 'a winter and spring 2027 with very high electricity prices.'
