The 600 million euro mega-project, with direct grant, was taken out of PNRR: ‘So that there are no more questions’ – News by sources

The 600 million euro Romgaz-GSP Power project was taken out of PNRR. The decision was taken after discussions with representatives of the European Commission. “We have eliminated them, so that there are no more questions,” said Virgil Popescu, Minister of Energy, according to Mediafax.

The projects with direct granting from PNRR disappeared, which created a big stir at the time of presenting the plan. Cristian Ghinea did not then assume the direct grants. The European Commission also found them strange, which is why the Minister of Energy decided to eliminate them.

“In order to avoid questions, why can’t others participate in these projects,” says Virgil Popescu.

600 million euros are allocated to gas and hydrogen electricity production projects.

One of the companies that would have benefited directly from some of this money was GSP Power.

“I can’t tell you how she was selected, because I don’t know. It is a project of the Ministry of Energy. We are talking about two innovative Romgaz projects, in consortium with Siemens and that company “, explains Cristian Ghinea, Minister of European Projects and Investments.

“When we started PNRR, the Ministry of European Funds asked us for mature projects. We selected projects from them and not companies. They said that calls for competitive projects would be preferable, but we understand that there is also the risk that in a competitive call there will be appeals and this procedure will be prolonged. We took out absolutely all the companies, so that there are no more questions, why others cannot participate in these projects “, says Virgil Popescu, Minister of Energy.
