- Grid synchronisation is targeted for the first quarter, followed by testing before commercial launch.
Romgaz is targeting commercial operation of its delayed Iernut gas-fired power plant by the end of June 2027, with grid synchronisation planned for the first quarter, according to Serbia Energy. The revised schedule gives investors a clearer timetable for a project that has faced delays.
New timetable for Iernut
The 430-megawatt combined-cycle plant is expected to connect to Romania's electricity network by March 2027. Technical testing would follow the connection, with commercial generation planned before the end of the second quarter.
The plant is designed for gross electrical efficiency of 56.4 percent and flexible generation that can respond to demand and renewable output. It will also have black-start capability, allowing it to help restore the national grid after a major outage.
Romgaz is coordinating the remaining work as general contractor, while General Electric remains involved at the site. The project supports Romgaz's move beyond natural gas production into electricity generation, although the timetable remains subject to further construction and testing progress.
Gas producer broadens energy role
Romgaz explores, produces and supplies natural gas in Romania, operates underground storage and also produces and supplies electricity. Its investor-relations page lists additional well services, technological transport and technical maintenance activities, while Simply Wall St identifies OMV Petrom, Rompetrol Rafinare and PJSC Tatneft among its named competitors.
Romgaz is more focused on Romanian gas production and storage than integrated peer OMV Petrom, while the wider comparison also includes downstream-focused Rompetrol Rafinare and international producer PJSC Tatneft. That positioning gives the Iernut project strategic relevance as the company adds flexible power generation to its established gas activities.
