Background
In the "2021-2030 Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan" the Energy Ministry plans to invest in a new combined-cycle unit at the site.[6] ELCEN also reported plans to refurbish the plant.[7]
According to ENTSOE and Transelectrica, as of 2021, only units 3 and 4 are operating.[8][9] [10]
