The minister says that when started, the Iernut power plant will add over 400 MW of energy to the national grid.
The Iernut power plant is an investment estimated at EUR270 million.
Five days ago, state-run Romgaz (SNG.RO), the largest natural producer in Romania, told shareholders that it sent a notice of termination of the contract to design and build the Iernut thermoelectric power plant signed with Spain’s Duro Felguera.
The Iernut plant project started in 2016 and has experienced delays and changes of contractors. Its completion is essential for boosting the production capacity of electricity from natural gas and for balancing the country’s energy system.
