BUCHAREST, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Romanian carmakers Dacia -
owned by French Renault - and Ford have temporarily halted
production until August 19, Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan said on
Monday, voluntarily reducing power consumption as the country
faces electricity supply problems.
Bolojan said the carmakers' decision has already shaved 200
MW worth of the country's power consumption on Monday morning,
adding other companies would also voluntarily reduce usage.
