In context: how this plant compares
At 1,075 MW, Mintia-Deva power station is well above the median coal plant in Romania (262 MW). Technically it is described as Siemens Energy: SGT5-9000HL, Siemens Energy: SST5-5000; subcritical. Its current lifecycle status is “Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.
