The Işalniţa Power Station is a thermal power plant located in Işalniţa, Dolj County operating with one generating unit of 315 MW.

The tallest chimney of the power station is 200 metres tall.

A consortium formed by Alstom, Sumitomo and IHI Corporation was commissioned to upgrade the 315 MW group to 345 MW each at a total cost of US$315 million.^[1]

There were plans to add another generating group of 500 MW at Işalniţa Power Station^[2] at a cost of US$750 million. The plans were later canceled.

There are plans with Alro Slatina for construction of a new unit of 850 MW that will use natural gas as fuel.^[3]

The recovery and resilience plan for Romania included decommissioning of Unit 8, which was achieved in 2021.^[4]

Unit 7 stopped production from January 1, 2024 and was put in reserve, according with Complex Energetic Oltenia's plan to restructure the company. [1] Archived 2023-06-04 at the Wayback Machine It will be in reserve until the end of 2025, after which it will be decommissioned.^[5]
