Romania will be able to keep three coal-fired energy units operational until 2029, following a renegotiation with the European Commission of the decarbonization timetable for the national electricity production, according to energy minister Bogdan Ivan.
The minister had been warning about the possibility of a blackout, namely, a temporary, widespread loss of electricity. By keeping the units active, such a possibility will be avoided, said Ivan.
