===[[Rovinari Power Station]]===
The [[Rovinari Power Station]] is a 1420 MW coal-fired power station in Gorj County, Romania. It was built in 1972 and is owned by SC Complexul Energetic Rovinari (owned in part by the Government of Romania). In May 2012 Rovinari selected China Huadian Engineering Co. Ltd to build a 500 megawatt (MW) coal-fired plant worth US$1.3 billion (1 billion euro) at the station.<ref>[http://powermarket.seenews.com/news/romanias-rovinari-picks-chinese-co-to-build-1-0-bln-euro-power-plant-274425 "Romania's Rovinari Picks Chinese Co to Build 1.0 Bln Euro Power Plant,"] Power Market, May 10, 2012.</ref> In November 2014 Energy Complex Oltenia and China Huadian Engineering agreed to set up a joint venture for the construction, expected to begin in 2015 and take three to four years.<ref>[http://actmedia.eu/energy-and-environment/ce-oltenia-and-china-huadian-signed-the-agreement-of-construction-of-the-new-energy-group-in-rovinari/55031 "CE Oltenia and China Huadian signed the agreement of construction of the new energy group in Rovinari,"] Act Media, November 6, 2014</ref>
