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.[13] ELCEN also reported plans to refurbish the plant.[14]
According to ENTSOE and Transelectrica, as of 2021, only units 3 and 4 are operating.[15][16] [17]
