Brazi Power Plant
Our Brazi Combined Cycle Power Plant plays a key role in ensuring power grid stability and security of supply.
Commissioned in 2012, following a €530 mn investment, the Brazi Combined Cycle Power Plant is the largest private greenfield electricity generation project in Romania. It has an installed capacity of 860 MW and it is composed of two gas turbines, each with a capacity of 290 MW, two recovery boilers and a steam turbine with a 310 MW capacity.
With a high flexibility and fast response capabilities, the Brazi power plant has played a critical role in the security of energy supply in Romania, covering ~10% of the power generated in the country. In addition to its operational benefits, the Brazi power plant has significantly lower CO2 emissions compared to conventional coal-fired plants.

Brazi Power Plant advantages
Grid Stability: Brazi helps balance the variability of renewables, stepping in when the wind doesn’t blow or the sun doesn’t shine, thus ensuring a constant and reliable power supply.
Lower Emissions: the Brazi power plant has significantly lower CO2 emissions (~ 0.35 t CO2 / MWh) compared to conventional coal-fired plants (~ 0.8 t CO2 / MWh).
Advanced Technology: Brazi is equipped with modern technology that allows rapid ramp-up and flexible power generation, adapting quickly to changing grid needs.
Energy Security: The plant ensures a stable and reliable source of electricity, particularly during periods of high demand or reduced renewable output.
