United Energy Moldova, subsidiary of J&T Finance Groups, has signed an agreement with The Republic of Moldova to invest 600 million euros to build a coal fired power plant in the town of Ungheni.
This investment will also be used to construct a 400kV transmission line connecting to Iasi in Romania.
The 350 MW power plant is expected to be launched in 2015 and will contribute to at least 20% of Moldova’s power consumption, helping Moldavia with its energy security. The 400kV transmission line will also allow electric power to be sold in the European Union thus reducing the cost for customers in Moldova.
