Biggest contract in history: 3.2bn euros for reactors

EnergoNuclear, the company in charge of developing reactors 3 and 4 of the nuclear power plant in Cernavoda, has launched the most valuable tender of the last few years in order to attract offers for engineering, design and building works to develop the two facilities. The value of the contract is 3.2 billion euros (excluding VAT), with the deadline for the bids being December 15th , in the biggest investment project in Romania in the last 20 years.

“The project’s development will entail a multi-million euro investment and the creation of several thousand jobs both during building works and after the two reactors become operational,” say representatives of EnergoNuclear, a company in which the Romanian state holds 51% of the shares, with the rest being divided among almost all major European energy groups. Another two nuclear reactors are operating in Cernavoda, both made operational after the 1989 Revolution, through investments made by the Romanian state.
