Bogdan Ivan, the Minister of Energy, announced that he is in negotiations with the European Commission to postpone the deadline for closing coal-fired power plants, initially set for the end of this year. Romania has committed to phasing out these plants by 2025, but Ivan emphasizes that the replacement projects with gas plants are still unfinished. He warns that closing coal-fired power plants will lead to an increase in electricity prices and the loss of jobs in the affected regions. Ivan hopes that his arguments will convince European officials to accept the postponement.
