Italy\u2019s Ansaldo Energia Group and financier Sace have signed a memorandum of understanding to extend the life of Unit 1 of Romania\u2019s Cernavoda nuclear power plant and to develop two more reactors, units 3 and 4.<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Ansaldo\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0the agreement with Romanian utility Nuclearelectrica aims to structure a financing line of up to \u20ac2bn to carry out the work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The deal was signed yesterday at the Ministry of Business in Rome, in the presence of Adolfo Urso, Italy\u2019s business minister, and Stefan-Radu Oprea, Romania\u2019s economic minister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Cernavoda currently has two Canadian-designed 700MW Candu 6 reactors, which came into operation in 1996 and 2007.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Each has a design life of 30 years. Together they supply about a fifth of Romania\u2019s electricity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Ansaldo Nucleare helped set up their generating systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

By the end of 2026, it will begin engineering and procuring components for the life extension of Unit 1, in collaboration with AtkinsR\u00e9alis and Korea\u2019s KHNP (see further reading).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In parallel, Nuclearelectrica intends to complete units 3 and 4 based on the design of Unit 2. Ansaldo Nucleare aims to involve the entire Italian nuclear supply chain in this project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Cosmin Ghita, Nuclearelectrica\u2019s chief executive, said the programme of works at Cernavoda would supply 66% of Romania\u2019s clean energy by 2031.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He said: \u201cNuclearelectrica\u2019s nuclear expansion investments will greatly benefit Romania\u2019s long-term energy security, reliability and value chain socio-economic development, from Romanian suppliers\u2019 chain growth to job creation and a new generation of nuclear specialists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cOur partnership with Ansaldo Nucleare is based on performance and professionalism going back to the beginning of the commissioning of unit 1, therefore we are looking forward to continuing this partnership for the new units.\u201d<\/p>\n
