CIECH Soda, a Romanian subsidiary of Polish CIECH Group expects to complete the power plant and resume operation in 2 to 3 years. The company said that it has submitted all necessary documentation for obtaining an environmental permit for the construction of cogeneration power plant within its factory.
The company recently fired 500 employees because the steam supplier CET Govora increased the price of steam and CIECH Soda decided to halt its operation due to high energy costs. However, the company claims that it will resume operation once it secures affordable and reliable source of energy.
