CCEM is engaged in the implementation of a high-efficiency cogeneration unit at București Sud TPP
Following the signing, this summer, of the Notice to Proceed for the contract “Owner’s Engineer consultancy services for the implementation of a high-efficiency cogeneration unit at București Sud CHPP”, the beneficiary, ELCEN, officially launches the project for a new CCGT-CHP unit (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine).
The project is co-financed through the EU Modernisation Fund and contributes to Romania’s 2030 and 2050 decarbonisation objectives by replacing outdated energy generation units with a new, natural gas – hydrogen blend ready, CCGT unit (275 MWel and 214 MWth).
- Consultant: International consortium led by DORNIER POWER and HEAT GmbH (Germany), with Romanian subcontractors CIGA ENERGY EPIC S.A. (subcontractor 1) and CCEM S.A. (subcontractor 2).
- Total project budget: 29,129,291.79 RON (excluding VAT).
- Estimated duration: 91 months (divided into 3 phases).
As Owner’s Engineer, the consortium—of which CCEM is a proud member—is responsible for ensuring proper coordination throughout all three project phases:
- Phase I – Pre-payment services (drafting procurement and tender documentation, bid evaluation, and EPC, LTSA contract awarding);
- Phase II – Implementation services (engineering review – validation and onsite supervision);
- Phase III – Warranty period services (post-commissioning support and operational monitoring)
In October 2025, the consortium finalised and delivered to ELCEN the procurement documentation for the upcoming turnkey EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contract and the LTSA (Long-Term Service Agreement), prepared under the competitive dialogue procedure.
CCEM’s contribution as part of the Owner’s Engineer team includes technical, contractual, and project management assistance, provided throughout the entire duration of the contract.
Through its participation in this project, CCEM reinforces its active role in the restructuring of Romania’s energy sector, by improving the efficiency and flexibility of generation units that support grid stability, and by supporting a socially and economically sustainable transition from coal to cleaner energy sources.
