Something I'd love to see more info about is electricity transport, as obviously it serves nothing to produce electricity in one place (or import it) of you can't deliver it to the places where it's needed.

And from what I can understand based on import and export numbers for interconnections there is a (bigish) problem.

Thanks

An other question: how realistical is biomass generation in terms of output vs investment? In those you burn wood byproducts which would otherwise be just waste and municipal waste which needs to be collected, sorted, etc.

Obviously it does give you a plus in generation but is it worth in the short run?

Interesting info, thank you.

There's a repeated typo (esp. regarding the loss of generation capacity): gigawats instead of megawatts, no?

I don't understand the part about heating: it is made of a lot of pumping stations, yes, but aren't those for the heat exchangers that supply a few buildings, while the heat (= hot water) comes from a TPP or NPP (or just gas heaters with no electricity generation)? If the generation capacities out the main pumps are destroyed your local thermal exchange won't have any heat to exchange ... I'm judging this based on how Bucharest's system works.
