- PPC will start its investment plan to build gas peaker plants in Romania at the end of 2025. These plants, which operate during peak electricity demand, will either consist of two 150 MW units or one 300 MW unit. They will also supply electricity to Greece during high-demand periods via the North-South corridor through Bulgaria. PPC’s market share in Romania grew to 23% in the first half of 2025, up from 14% a year earlier, while new renewables capacity rose to 303 MW from 134 MW.
