Are you sure "offline" means that? Romania looks offline and when I checked their CNN they were reporting live from Spain about the blackout without mentioning Romania.

The map seems to be based on monitoring stations in the different locations, so yes - it's also possible that a station is offline for other reasons (maintenance, etc).


They were probably put offline as the network is rebalanced. That just means they (Romania) don’t contribute to the network.


Our government said we're fine with our local generation and are even exporting 200 MW (possibly to our eastern neighbors?).

I definitely had no problems with electricity all of today (on the eastern side). And there was nothing in the news about local outages either.

Funny enough, there were news before the Easter holidays that they're preparing for extremely reduced demand by shutting down facilities.
