Rompetrol completes major cogeneration plant in Romania

Business Forum
The Kazakh-Romanian Energy Investment Fund (Kreif), through its subsidiary Rompetrol Energy, has completed commissioning of the cogeneration plant on the Petromidia Năvodari platform.

As of December 30, 2025, Rompetrol Energy has become the operator of the plant, which contributes to the modernisation of energy infrastructure in Dobrogea and at the Petromidia refinery, with the capability to direct surplus electricity into the National Energy System.

"The commissioning confirms the operation and efficiency of the plant, the energy investment in Dobrogea over the past 15 years. Rompetrol now has a new production asset that will support the long-term development of the Petromidia platform and contribute to the modernisation of Romania's energy infrastructure," stated Yedil Utekov, Chief Production & Industrial Services Officer of KMG International.

The plant has been integrated with the Petromidia refinery and the National Energy System, ensuring the required energy flow for the platform (60–70 MWh) and up to 180 tons/hour of process steam. This integration reduces the refinery's energy dependence, optimises costs, and increases operational efficiency.

Since the start of testing, the plant has produced around 150,000 MWh of electricity and around 190,000 tons of process steam, volumes supplied to the Petromidia refinery and the SEN. The SGT-750 turbines operate on gaseous fuel and each generate approximately 39 MWh of electricity.
