The Doiceşti Power Station was a large thermal power plant located in Doicești, with seven generation groups, six of twenty MW each and two of 200 MW resulting in a total electricity generation capacity of 520 MW.[1] It used Lignite as main fuel supplemented by Natural gas .
The chimney used by the 200 MW units was 208 metres tall. It was demolished to clear the site for the new project using a Small modular reactor. [2]

Extension plans[edit]
In 2011 Termoelectrica, the owner of the powerplant, and China Huadian Engineering agreed to build two new units of 250 MW each.[3] The extension was cancelled in 2014 after the dissolution of Termoelectrica.[4]
Doicești location was selected to implement NuScale Power VOYGR-6 model of a nuclear power plant that will deploy six SMRs of 77 MW each with a total capacity of 462 MW. [5][6] For this project Nuclearelectrica formed a new company RoPower, with equal shares with the plant owner Nova Power&Gas. RoPower signed the contract with NuScale Power for phase 1 of front-end engineering and design. [7]
