The transfer of the two mines is part of a restructuring process targeting CE Oltenia, the ministry said in a statement Friday.
CE Oltenia produces 95% of Romania’s coal and can provide up to 30% of the country’s electricity consumption. The company has nearly 19,000 employees.
The two mines transferred to CET Govora have a total of 1,097 employees and had an output of 1,41 million tons of coal last year.
CE Oltenia was founded in 2012 through the merger of thermal power plants Craiova, Rovinari and Turceni and the national coal mining company SNLO.
