The Crivina Power Station (Romanian: Termocentrala de la Crivina) was a large thermal power plant located in Crivina, near Anina in Caraș-Severin County. It had three generating units of 330 MW each, altogether having a total electricity generating capacity of 990 MW.[1][2] It was intended to be the first oil shale power station built in Romania.[3] The total cost of the oil shale power plant was around US$1 billion.[4] The Crivina Power Station was supplied with 4 million tonnes of oil shale per year from the nearby Anina Mine.[3]
