Galati Power Station

The Galati Power Station is a 4-unit 535 MW coal-fired power station operated by state-owned Termoelectrica in the Free Economic Area of Galati, Romania. A fourth unit of 900 MW has been proposed. The investment is expected to reach almost EUR 1.3 billion.

The prefecture of Galati city approved the local urban plan (PUZ) regarding the building of the station in September 2011. Building works for the plant are expected to commence at the end of 2012 and finalized three to four years later.

In October 2013 the Romanian country manager of Enel declared in a business magazine that the company was canceling the expansion project, citing economic reasons.
