The Brazi II Power Station is a large thermal power plant located in Prahova County, Brazi, Romania. It is owned and operated by OMV Petrom [1] and is Romania's largest privately-funded greenfield project for electricity generation, having 3 generation groups 50 MW each resulting a total electricity generation capacity of 150 MW. [2] The power plant operates on natural gas, with a combined-cycle system that enables it to produce electricity with lower emissions. This setup includes two gas turbines, each with a capacity of 290 MW, and a steam turbine at 310 MW, resulting in a total installed capacity of 860 MW. [3]
Hydroelectricity, or hydroelectric power, is electricity generated from hydropower. Hydropower supplies 15% of the world's electricity, almost 4,210 TWh in 2023, which is more than all other renewable sources combined and also more than nuclear power. Hydropower can provide large amounts of low-carbon electricity on demand, making it a key element for creating secure and clean electricity supply systems. A hydroelectric power station that has a dam and reservoir is a flexible source, since the amount of electricity produced can be increased or decreased in seconds or minutes in response to varying electricity demand. Once a hydroelectric complex is constructed, it produces no direct waste, and almost always emits considerably less greenhouse gas than fossil fuel-powered energy plants. However, when constructed in lowland rainforest areas, where part of the forest is inundated, substantial amounts of greenhouse gases may be emitted.
