Romania expects to submit a state aid approval request to the European Commission for building Units 3 and 4 at the existing Cernavodă nuclear power station “in the coming weeks”, Cristian Bușoi, state secretary at Romania's energy ministry said.

Speaking at the nucleareurope 2026 conference in Brussels, Bușoi said Romania had already filed a separate state aid approval application for the refurbishment and life extension of Cernavodă-1, and that the request for the two new units, Cernavoda-3 and -4, would follow shortly.
