The Iernut power plant, initially scheduled for early 2020, is now expected to start commercial operations by mid-2027. Romgaz is the general contractor, and the plant will operate independently of external power supply. The facility will feature a combined cycle gas turbine system with a capacity of 430 MW and a gross electrical efficiency of 56.4%. It will also include a 'Black Start' capability for emergency situations. Recent evaluations indicate solid prospects for meeting the revised timeline, with synchronization to the national grid anticipated in early 2027. The plant's strategic location will enhance energy supply and reduce congestion risks in the transmission network.
