A company from the PPC Romania group will construct a natural gas power plant with a capacity of approximately 100 MW on Valea Terovei, on the site of the former UCC - Uzina Cocso Chimică platform in Reșița.

The company recently acquired a 99,241 sqm plot of land in the city through a public auction for RON 5.6 million (€1.1 million).

The announcement was made by Agenția de Dezvoltare Locală Reșița (ADLR), which played a key role alongside the municipality in creating the necessary framework for implementing this strategic project.
