Paroseni Power Station

The Paroseni power station is a 300 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Hunedoara, Romania.

Background
The power station was built in 1964 and is owned by Termoelectrica.

Expansion plans
On September 30, 2011, the Romanian government applied to the EU Emissions Trading System for allocation of approximately 75 million tonnes of carbon allowances free of charge in the period 2013-2019. The application included construction of four new coal-fired power plants with a total capacity of 2,000 MW (CE Rovinari, SE Islanita, SE Paroseni, and Braila Power). The new Paroseni plant would be 200 MW.
