High temperatures and low water levels in rivers are causing ongoing energy supply tensions in Central and Southeastern Europe, prompting the European Commission to hold an emergency meeting to ensure coordinated electricity distribution.
Consensus
- High temperatures and low water levels are affecting electricity production and consumption in Central and Southeastern Europe.
- The European Commission held an emergency meeting of the energy coordination group on Wednesday.
