Nuclearelectrica reported an operating profit of RON459 million, 9% higher than in the first nine months of 2014, although exploitation revenue declined slightly.
The company’s exploitation expenditure decreased 6% in the first nine months, influenced by a drop in a tax for special constructions.
The company sold 40% less energy on the regulated market but its sales on the free market rose 21% in January-September.
Nuclearelectrica operates Romania’s sole nuclear power plant. Located in Cernavoda in the country’s southeast, the plant currently operates two 700-megawatt reactors, meeting around 20% of the country’s energy consumption.
