The Ministry of Energy announced that today the works started for CET Titan, a fully automated plant that will be equipped with five engine-generator groups (hydrogen ready) with an installed electrical power of up to 50 MWe and an installed thermal power of up to 40 MWt.

Through the project of a new high-efficiency combined heat and power – CET Titan becomes the first project of this type in the last 15 years in Bucharest.

It is a project that has been in my and my team’s attention since the beginning of the mandate. CET Titan is also a chance for Bucharest residents to have access to hot water and heat in a more predictable way. It will serve 10,000 apartments with water and heat and more than 20,000 consumption points with electricity.”
