Romag Termo Power Station

The Romag Termo Power Station is a 275 MW coal-fired power plant in Romania owned by the Romania Authority for Nuclear Activities (RAAN), a Government Business Enterprise. It went online in 1980. The coal is supplied from the Mehedinti and Motru coal basins.

There are plans to increase the plant's capacity from 275 MW to 600 MW, through lignite coal gasification. In addition, there are also plans to construct a new 400 MW coal gasification plant at the site, the Halanga Power Station. The estimated duration for full project implementation is 2011 to 2015.
