At the request of the Romanian state as the main shareholder, the extraordinary shareholder meeting on February 12-13 at Nuclearelectrica (BVB: SNN) will vote on the final decision of the NuScale Small Modular Reactors (SMR) project, according to the company’s note to investors. According to a very rough estimate circulated in late 2024, the project would cost USD 4.9 billion, and no update is available.<\/p>\n

Energy minister Bogdan Ivan reaffirmed in December his support for the continuation of the SMR project in Doicesti. Following extensive discussions with the project company’s shareholders, a solution was reportedly identified to fully finance the current stage of development.<\/p>\n

The first small modular reactor could be operational in 2027-2028, the Romanian authorities promised.<\/p>\n

The decision “represents a significant step forward in the completion of a strategic energy project for Romania,” according to information sent by Nuclearelectrica, a shareholder of the project company. The Romanian state holds 82.5% in SNN.<\/p>\n

SNN owns half of the project company from Doice\u015fti, RoPower Nuclear, along with the private company Nova Power&Gas, part of the E-INFRA group, Profit.ro<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The project consists of six small modular reactors (SMRs) in Doice\u015fti, using a technology from the American company NuScale, which totals an installed capacity of 462 MW.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Energy has estimated that the Doice\u0219ti project will need a budget of EUR 4.9 billion. The estimate made by the project developer and the technology owner is preliminary, the ministry said, disclosing the value could be underestimated by up to -50% and or overestimated by up to 30%.<\/p>\n

In November 2023, NuScale cancelled a similar 462 MWe project in the US. This came after the estimated investment costs for the CFPP were increased by more than 75%, from USD 5.3 billion to USD 9.3 billion.<\/p>\n
