The estimated energy consumption for the winter of 2018-2019 will be higher by 2 percent as opposed to the previous period (2017-2018), and this is the starting point for the setting up of this year's winter Program, Secretary of State with the Ministry of Energy Doru Visan told a press conference on energy topics, on Monday.
According to the official with the Ministry of Energy, there are enough stock components for the preparation of the 2018-2019 Winter Program.
He also added that another element in getting the Winter Program ready is represented by the district heating systems, for which at least 1,000 MW are required for optimum functioning. "The energy system has many good people, professionals and the desire is not to put out, but for the light bulb to remain permanently on, in a safe manner though," the Secretary of State in the Ministry of Energy concluded, during the event organized by the Focus Energetic.
