Danube Drought Challenges Europe's Energy
Europe is facing an energy supply crisis due to an unprecedented drought in the Danube River basin, which has led to a reduction in nuclear power production in Hungary and Romania. The Paks plant in Hungary, which provides about half of the country's electricity, stopped operating after water levels dropped, and the government has begun completely reducing its output. This adds further pressure to the European electricity market during peak summer. At the same time, gas prices have increased due to tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, raising the costs of operating gas and coal-fired power plants and causing electricity prices in the region to rise. The efficiency of power plants has also declined during the heatwave, with Europe being accused of suffering setbacks in traditional energy supplies and witnessing unprecedented increases in energy prices.
