Greek energy giant PPC (Public Power Corporation) is preparing a major expansion in Romania, announcing plans to invest around €3 billion in the country over the next three years. The investment package targets key areas of Romania’s energy transition, including renewable energy, flexible generation and upgrades to the national distribution network.

The €3 billion commitment represents roughly 30% of PPC’s wider €10 billion investment strategy for Southeast Europe through 2028, highlighting Romania’s strategic importance in the company’s regional growth plan.

Investment Focus Areas in Romania

• Renewable Energy: Large-scale development of solar, wind and hybrid projects to support Romania’s decarbonisation goals.

• Flexible Generation: Construction of a new gas-fired peaker plant to stabilise the grid and balance renewable power fluctuations.

• Grid Modernisation: Upgrading distribution networks to improve reliability, reduce losses and accelerate the connection of new renewable installations.

By combining new renewable capacity with modern, flexible generation, PPC aims to support Romania’s energy security while expanding its footprint in one of the fastest-evolving power markets in the EU.
