| |
| − | The power station is a proposal by the state-owned Romanian company [[Termoelectrica]] and a consortium comprising [[E.ON Kraftwerke]] and [[Enel]] for "for the development of the Braila power plant project, for a new 800 MW coal-fired production capacity." The three companies announced in June 2008 that they had signed a Memorandum of Understanding relating to the project.

| − | | |
| − | The consortium states that "the project will also utilize the existing assets from the power plant currently in operation ... Based on the results of the feasibility study, expected by the end of 2008, the parties will decide whether or not to implement the power plant project." The media release also states that "the plant will be prepared for CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) -technology."<ref>Enel, [http://www.enel.com/en/press_room/press_releases/releases/index.aspx?iddoc=1558666 "Termoelelctrica, E.ON and Enel Sign Agreement for Coal Fired Power Plant in Romania"], Media Release, June 18, 2008.</ref>
