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.[10] ELCEN also reported plans to refurbish the plant.[11]

ELCEN, which entered insolvency proceedings in 2021, was bought out by the city of Bucharest.[12]
