Hungary's Paks nuclear power plant is operating at only 12% capacity due to record low Danube water levels caused by a heatwave, narrowly avoiding a total shutdown. The plant usually provides a third of Hungary's electricity and relies on river water for cooling.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy, and 2 sources have reported it between 4 Aug 2026 and 5 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your clean energy supply just took a hit from climate extremes. You need to reassess dependencies on water-cooled energy sources and diversify cooling or power inputs fast.
