Candu Energy saluted Romania’s intention to set up a partnership with China General Nuclear Power Group.

“Candu Energy is ready to participate in the delivery of these two CANDU nuclear power plants,” said Ala Alizadeh, Candu Energy Senior Vice President, Marketing and Business Development. “We have strong ties in Romania through our previous CANDU projects there and are excited about the opportunity to deliver two more units.”

Romanian state-run company Nuclearelectrica operates two 700-megawatt CANDU reactors in Cernavoda, covering around 20% of Romania’s energy consumption.

The power producer is looking for investors to build two more reactors in Cernavoda.
