The power plant, which has a capacity of 150 MW, thus becomes the first CE Hunedoara operation to conform to EU environmental norms.
“This investment is of double importance. On one hand, the Paroseni power plant will be supplied with coal from the Jiu Valley, and on the other any step taken towards respecting environmental norms by Romania’s coal power plants assures a similarly diversified energetic mix for the future,” said Romanian Energy Minister Anton Anton.
The investment was worth EUR65.3M and was financed through credits granted by the European Investment Bank, the Romanian Commercial Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The works to install the system were carried out by the CNIM-LAB consortium.
