Chimcomplex power station is a 108 MW gas power station in Valcea, Romania. It ranks #46 of 97 Romania power plants by installed capacity. Its annual emissions of 467,626 t CO₂/yr (EU ETS verified (EUTL 2023)) are equivalent to about 109k cars driven for a year. In context, gas supplies about 18.7% of Romania's electricity; the national grid averages 251 gCO₂/kWh (67.5% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
At 108 MW, Chimcomplex power station is below the median gas plant in Romania (200 MW). Technically it is described as CCGT; combined-cycle with a heat-recovery steam generator (HRSG). Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Gas plants burn natural gas either in open-cycle turbines for fast peaking, or in combined-cycle units that recover exhaust heat in an HRSG to reach roughly 55–62% efficiency — the cleanest-burning fossil option.
