Romania’s Government will pull out of the deal with China for the construction of reactors 3 and 4 at the Cernavoda NPP, prime minister Ludovic Orban announced in an interview with Hotnews.ro on 22 January. “It is clear to me that the partnership with the Chinese company is not going to work,” Orban said, adding that the government has already started to look for a new partner and financing for this project. He added that any new projects in Romania’s energy sector will depend on the European Union’s Green Deal aimed at reducing CO2 emissions.
