Mintia intră într-un SEN cu deficit de producție: cum poate noua centrală pe gaze să reducă dependența de importuri și să stabilizeze prețurile

The new gas power plant in Mintia is set to enhance Romania's energy stability amid current production challenges. With a capacity of 1,000 MW, it aims to reduce peak hour imports and balance the grid. Its impact will depend on renewable energy production and gas prices. The plant's integration comes at a critical time, as hydro production is low and Cernavodă units are offline. Mintia will provide a reliable energy source, especially during evening peaks when renewable output drops. This facility represents a significant investment and is the largest gas plant in Europe. Another gas plant, Iernut, is also expected to start operations soon, further contributing to energy supply.
