The Romanian cabinet decided to extend the coal phaseout back to 2032. Faced with the energy crisis, it also gave up on the plan to dismantle some of the thermal power plants that it closes, opting instead to keep them in reserve.

Just a month after announcing it would accelerate the coal exit deadline by two years to 2030, Romania backflipped and again determined 2032 as the final year of the use of the fossil fuel in the country. In its emergency ordinance, the government gave up from the initiative that was included in the draft.
