匈牙利总理佩特·马吉宣布，该国唯一的帕克什核电站将首次实现完全关闭[1]。这一决定由多瑙河水位创历史新低所驱动，该河流的水位可能降至负144厘米，远低于2018年创造的负98厘米纪录[1]。当水位降至负134厘米时，电站需要完全关闭[1]。马吉预计关闭将在本周二或周三发生，恢复运行可能需要数周时间[1]。
帕克什核电站位于布达佩斯南部约90公里，其产能占匈牙利电力产量的近一半[1]。当前该电站产能仅965兆瓦，远低于正常水平的2000兆瓦[1]。这是该电站44年运营历史上首次面临完全停运[1]。为应对能源危机，政府已要求大型企业自愿减少能源消耗。能源集团MOL承诺将用电需求减少65兆瓦·小时，降幅达40%[1]。马吉还宣布暂停周一和周二的议会会议以节省能源[1]。
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced that the country's sole nuclear power facility, the Paks plant located approximately 90 kilometers south of Budapest, will undergo a complete shutdown for the first time in its 44-year operational history due to critically low water levels in the Danube River [1]. The plant currently generates nearly half of Hungary's electricity but has already been reduced to less than half of its normal 2,000-megawatt capacity, now producing only 965 megawatts [1]. Orbán projected the facility would be fully shut down by Tuesday or Wednesday [1], with restoration potentially requiring several weeks [1].
The crisis stems from prolonged drought conditions affecting Central Europe, which have caused the Danube's water level to drop to unprecedented levels [1]. The river's water level is expected to fall to negative 144 centimeters, exceeding the previous record of negative 98 centimeters set in 2018 [1]. Full closure becomes necessary when water levels reach negative 134 centimeters [1]. In response to the energy emergency, Hungary's MOL energy group committed to reducing electricity consumption by 65 megawatt-hours, representing a 40 percent reduction in its demand [1]. Prime Minister Orbán additionally announced the suspension of parliamentary sessions scheduled for Monday and Tuesday to conserve energy [1].
