The unit 1 at the plant has made 2.053 million MWh and supplied 1.89 million MWh of them to the Grid, while the unit 2 made 1.997 million MWh and supplied 1.846 million MWh, during the first four months of 2009.
In 2008, Cernavoda nuclear power plant with its both units at work, have produced around 11.226 million MWh, and supplied 10.333 million MWh to the Grid at an average capacity factor of 84.83% for unit 1 and 96.92% for unit 2.
The unit 1’s average capacity factor was less due to scheduled stop in June 2008.
The electricity produced by Cernavoda’s two units stands for around 18% of Romania’s total electricity production.
Additionally, unit 1 supplied between 60,000 and 80,000 Gigacalories (around 50% of the demand) for the heating of the users on the plant’s industrial platform and Cernavoda’s dwellers, annually, without affecting the turbine’s nominal electric power. The electricity was supplied at the lowest national price.
