==Expansion plans==
'''Isalnita-3 Power Station''' is a proposed 500 MW thermal power plant to be added to the station, planned by Craiova. The EUR 650 mn investment is designed to also burn natural gas. In 2010 it was reported that only [[AES]] in the US remained interested in the project after [[Edison]] (Italy) and [[CEZ]] (Czech Republic) pulled out,.<ref>[http://oldrbd.doingbusiness.ro/en/5/latest-articles/4/374/a-complex-strategic-choice-coal-power "A Complex Strategic Choice – Coal Power,"] doingbusiness.ro, July 2010.</ref>. Since no further progress on the project has been reported in four years, as of mid-2014 it appears the project has been abandoned.
