The Mintia-Deva Power Plant was Romania's third largest thermal power plant having 5 identical groups of 210 MW each and one of 235 MW thus totalling a capacity of 1285 MW.[1] The primary fuel was Bituminous coal mixed with Natural gas.
The power plant is situated in the Hunedoara County (South-Eastern Transylvania), on the banks of the Mureș, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) from the city of Deva.The 3 chimneys of the power station are 220 meters tall.
Operations
The plant has been mothballed in early 2021. Reasons cited are lack of investment in emissions control, several years of poor management and political interference in the plant's management.
It was controlled by Electrocentrale Deva, a state-owned company. It was sold in 2022 to Mass Group Holding, an Iraqi company with headquarters in Jordan, for EUR 91.2 million.The transaction comes with strings attached, imposed by the Romania’s energy ministry, as a shareholder. These include the obligation for the buyer to complete a new 1,290 MW power unit, of which 800 MW is to be based on Natural gas and renewable sources, by the end of 2026.[2]
