Romania plans to expand its nuclear power generation in the next 24 years by building two reactors at its only atomic plant and building a new facility, the country’s Economy Ministry said.

The Balkan nation plans to add as much as 4,600 megawatts of nuclear capacity by 2035 to its existing output of 1,400 megawatts, according to a statement on the ministry’s website. The country aims to install the two reactors at its Cernavoda plant, operated by atomic-power company Nuclearelectrica SA, by 2020 and complete the new facility by 2030.
