==Expansion plansfor Unit 5 (200 MW)==
On September 30, 2011, the Romanian government applied to the EU Emissions Trading System for allocation of approximately 75 million tonnes of carbon allowances free of charge in the period 2013-2019. The application included construction of four new coal-fired power plants with a total capacity of 2,000 MW ([[Rovinari Power Station|CE Rovinari]], [[Craiova II Power Station|SE Islanita]], SE Paroseni, and [[Braila Power Station Expansion|Braila Power]]). The new Paroseni plant would be 200 MW.<ref>[http://bankwatch.org/sites/default/files/ETS-Romania-21Feb2012.pdf "The Article 10C Application of Romania,'''] Bankwatch, Feb. 21, 2012.</ref>
