The Danube has risen by 6 centimeters in the last 3 days in Hungary. Prime Minister Péter Magyar announces that the reduction of electricity consumption is no longer necessary.

The Danube has recorded a rise of 6 centimeters in the last 3 days near the nuclear power plant in Paks, Hungary, according to Hungarian hydrologists.

The Prime Minister of Hungary, Peter Magyar, announced that starting Friday, the population will no longer have to voluntarily reduce their electricity consumption, after the Paks plant nearly completely halted production due to low water levels.

Although the increase in the Danube's flow in Hungary is a positive sign, hydrologists state that it will have a stagnation effect in the Romanian sector of the river. The problems in Hungary's energy system are similar to those encountered by the Cernavodă plant.

Although the level of the Danube has risen, in Romania, evaporation due to high temperatures limits the positive effects, and the flow remains stabilized, without bringing a significant surplus.
