The projects and opportunities relating to the Cernavoda power plant at the heart of the Supplier Day organized today by Ansaldo Nucleare

There are over 70 Italian companies active in the field of the nuclear supply chain that Ansaldo Nucleare met today at the headquarters of the Ansaldo Energia Group to present and explore developments relating to projects linked to the nuclear market in Romania.

The meeting, which also saw the participation of ICE and a representative of the Romanian Embassy in Italy, took place following the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding held last February 15th – on the sidelines of the Italy-Romania intergovernmental bilateral meeting – between the Italian financial insurance group SACE, Ansaldo Nucleare and the Romanian energy company nuclear Societatea Nationala Nuclearelectrica S.A. The agreement provides for a financing line of up to 2 billion euros for the plant life extension project of Unit 1 of Cernavoda and the completion of Units 3 and 4.

Ansaldo Nucleare brought together the main Italian suppliers to present in detail the project related to the life extension of Unit 1 of the Cernavoda nuclear power plant, where it will have a primary role: during the meeting the Italian companies of the supply chain were provided with the necessary tools to evaluate the opportunities of this project, structuring a synergistic system of industrial and economic growth in a fundamental sector for the energy transition.

Ansaldo Nucleare has been present in Romania for over forty years and contributed to the construction of the Cernavoda power plant, where it continues to be present with service activities: with this meeting, the company consolidates its strategic role in the energy policies of Eastern European countries and as the leader of the nuclear supply chain in Europe and in Italy.
