The Işalniţa Power Station is a thermal power plant located in Işalniţa, Dolj County operating with one generating unit of 315 MW.
The tallest chimney of the power station is 200 metres tall.
Future extensions[edit]
A consortium formed by Alstom, Sumitomo and IHI Corporation was commissioned to upgrade the 315 MW group to 345 MW each at a total cost of US$315 million.[1]
There were plans to add another generating group of 500 MW at Işalniţa Power Station[2] at a cost of US$750 million. The plans were later canceled.
There are plans with Alro Slatina for construction of a new unit of 850 MW that will use natural gas as fuel.[3]
Operations[edit]
The recovery and resilience plan for Romania included decommisioning of Unit 8, which was achieved in 2021.[4]
Unit 7 stopped production from January 1, 2024 and was put in reserve, according with Complex Energetic Oltenia's plan to restructure the company. [1] It will be in reserve until the end of 2025, after which it will be decommissioned.[5]
