1 It’s a sensitive subject. Why? Because in another era, Romanians were restricted from these rights that you should have in a civilized country. You should have the right to turn on your light, put on the washing machine when you want. It is true, from the perspective of the National Energy System, if a Romanian wants to do good, he should not turn on the washing machine or dishwasher or other consumers during this evening peak, i.e. between 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.: 00. He could do this”, said the Minister of Energy, quoted by Agerpres.

Almost the whole country is under a red heat wave, with temperatures reaching 42 degrees during the day, and the nights will be tropical.
