The event was attended by Romanian Minister of Energy Sebastian
Burduja and U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm,
highlighting robust bilateral cooperation between the countries and
the strategic importance of the Cernavoda Units 3 & 4
project.
“Nuclear energy is a safe and clean source of reliable baseload
electricity, which is critically important to meeting growing power
demands globally,” said Pierre Bechelany, President of Fluor’s LNG
& Power business, who attended the signing. “Fluor is pleased
to be a part of such an important project for Romania and eastern
Europe.”
The Cernavoda Nuclear Power Plant, operated by SN
Nuclearelectrica, currently produces about 1.4 gigawatts of
electricity with two operational units, meeting approximately 20%
of Romania’s electricity demand. The addition of Units 3 & 4
will nearly double the power output of the facility.
As part of the LNTP, Fluor and its JV partners will provide
information necessary for a final investment decision to be made
before construction of Units 3 & 4 can proceed. This includes
the development of engineering/construction plans, an updated cost
estimate and schedule and preliminary nuclear safety assessment
reports and engineering documents.
