Complexul Energetic Hunedoara (CEH) will continue providing system services at a power of 400 MW until the end of this year Over 100 employees of Mintia Thermal Power Plant part of Complexul Energetic Hunedoara (CEH) on June 15 triggered a spontaneous protest in the courtyard of the unit rights which they say they have not received since March According to the President of ‘Solidaritatea Hunedoara’ Trade Union the reasons of protesters’ discontent are related to the lack of coal stocks and of the perspective for CEH which is why they requested the presence of Hunedoara County Prefect and of General Manager Samuel Dioane “Entitlements are three months past due and total about RON 2,000 for each employee We have no coal stocks and claim that they should be covered from the state reserve,” the union leader said The union also supports the division of CEH into two separate entities of which one Mintia Thermal Power Plant and the second consisting of Paroseni Thermal Power Plant and the viable coal mines in Jiu Valley: Lupeni Mintia Thermal Power Plant was shut down because it ran out of coal The activity of restarting the facilities was resumed after the coal stock had been supplemented About 700 employees work at Mintia thermal power plant The protest ended following management promises that the Meal tickets heat aids and the equivalent value of transport would be granted according to a debt instalment plan Complexul Energetic Hunedoara will not lay off the employees nor will it make redundant the existing staff There will be departures only upon retirement among those who are currently working as there aren’t many employees left and the reorganization plan of CEH activity will not provide for layoffs including all employees that currently work for CEH which will be transferred to Deva Municipality Those who are currently working are the last employees of mines or thermal power plants but they will be able to receive severance payments if they are validated by the European Commission under which people would be made redundant but only when we receive the renotification from the European Commission which will tell us the period of operation of Lupeni and Lonea mines We hope it will be 2027 and then we will be able to make an annual plan in which people will leave under the ordinance each year,” Cristian Rosu also said The special administrator and the official receiver of CEH will prepare a reorganization plan that will be applied in the following period The current difficulties of exporters and proposals to overcome them were presented to the Cabinet of the Prime Minister of Romania by Mihai Ionescu – Executive President of the National Association of Romanian Exporters and Importers (ANEIR) and Co-Chair of the Export Council of Romania ANEIR reported the serious consequences of the financial blockage generated by the state through CEH Hunedoara which on 14.11.2019 entered into insolvency Following the analysis of the structure of the Preliminary List of Creditors of the respective company published in the Bulletin of Insolvency Proceedings no it is found that of the total receivables registered in the list of creditors of around RON 6bn the amounts owed to 49 entities and state-owned companies or companies with majority state capital is 97.66% and the difference of only 2.34% represents debts to 145 companies with private capital To avoid worsening the financial situation of the respective companies of which some risk going bankrupt or insolvent ANEIR has proposed that the Ministry of Economy Energy and Business Environment (MEEMA) should initiate an emergency regulation for granting a financial aid to CEH Hunedoara strictly directed to paying the amounts owed to the private companies registered in the list of creditors which have concluded contracts through the public procurement system SICAP amounts that will be exclusively used to pay obligations to the state and the salary rights to employees Given how the guidelines of the restructuring plan is outlined which involves a division of CEH Hunedoara this urgent support would make the restructuring plan be carried out without legal action according to a draft Emergency Ordinance initiated by the Ministry of Economy This measure had already been approved by the previous Government for the period April 2018 – June 30 this is a measure necessary so that the safety of operation of the national energy system (NES) is not affected electricity production sources are distributed unevenly between the south and the north of the country in the northern half of the country there are installed capacities that cover only 20% of the electricity production of the national system in case of non-functioning of groups belonging to CEH there is a need to ensure an increase in power transfer from the south of the country to the central area and to the north and west of the national energy system with the related losses and overload of power transmission lines through the operation of power plants belonging to CEH electricity consumption in the north-west of the country is ensured mainly from energy production in that area in contrast to the situation where these power plants are not operational the transfer of power from other areas of the national energy system is necessary Also, the Romanian state has the obligation to implement a decision of the European Commission to recover the illegal state aid granted to Complexul Energetic Hunedoara so far actions being taken to inventory the assets owned by CEH for which the market value will be determined “Unfortunately, the valuation process is slowed down in the context of the COVID-19 crisis Following the completion of the valuation process and determining the final list of creditors that will also include the state aid declared illegal decisions will be made on the reorganization of the company datio in solutum of certain assets and/or their winding-up the only certain revenues of the company come from the transmission operator for the technological system services (secondary regulation band fast tertiary reserve and slow tertiary reserve),” the explanatory note also shows The decrease of the adequacy level in the national energy system led to the transition of Romania from the status of electricity exporting country to that of net importer this status becoming permanent starting with July 2019 gold-copper mining development located in Hunedoara It is being developed by Euro Sun Mining through its wholly owned subsidiary Samax Romania The property comprises two open-pit deposits The mining licence for the Rovina Valley project was granted in November 2018 following which a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) was released in February 2019 A definitive feasibility study (DFS) for the project was published in April 2021 The Romanian open-pit mining project is estimated to require a capital investment of approximately $399m The Rovina Valley project will have a production capacity of more than 1.3 million ounces (Moz) of gold and 400 million pounds (Mlb) of copper over its mine life of 16.8 years It is estimated to produce 106,000oz of gold and 19Mlb of copper during the first ten years of operation The Rovina Valley Project lies in Hunedoara a part of Romania’s Development Region of Transylvania The mining property is located approximately 25km north of the city of Deva The gold-copper property lies within the Golden Quadrilateral Mining District near the northern end of the Sacarimb-Brad volcanic belt It is underlain by a series of subvolcanic intermediate intrusive rocks of Neogene era The project is based on the exploitation of the Rovina which are associated with subvolcanic intrusives of similar composition and alteration All three porphyries are characterised by dioritic calc-alkaline stock associated and ample magnetite alteration The copper-gold mineralisation at Rovina Valley is hosted in multiple composite plagioclase-hornblende porphyritic subvolcanic intrusives It is exposed as outcrops in the Baroc valley drainage over approximately 300m The mineralised porphyries are cylindrical and vertical Mineralisation extends up to 600m below the surface The main Rovina porphyry intrudes a brecciated porphyritic unit that is locally mineralised The proven and probable mineral reserves at the Rovina Valley Project were estimated at 133.4 million tonnes (Mt) grading 0.42g/t of gold and 0.16% of copper as of April 2021 The Rovina Valley project will initially focus on the open-pit deposits It will be mined using conventional open-pit methods of drill and blast The mine plan includes drilling and blasting of most of the ore and waste materials as there is a nominal amount of free dig Mining operations will utilise 200t hydraulic backhoe excavators to load the free-dig and blasted ore which will be hauled by 90t haul trucks to the plant feed run of mine (ROM) pad which has the best incremental value per tonne followed by the Rovina pit The Colnic deposit is also expected to deliver higher mill feed grades in the early life of the mine The two deposits will then be mined for the remainder of the project life The mining fleet will be able to accommodate the peak production requirement of 27.4 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) A per-stripping period of approximately six to seven months will be required to expose sufficient ore to sustain the ore feed for the processing plant The Rovina Valley processing plant design features a froth flotation process to recover copper and gold concentrates The processing plant has a planned throughput of 7.2Mtpa with ore feed from both the Colnic and Rovina pits It will treat ore from the Colnic pit during the first seven years and Rovina during the remaining nine years of the mine life The process plant infrastructure will include a gyratory primary crushing circuit a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill operating in conjunction with a ball mill and a pebble crushing semi-autogenous ball mill crusher (SABC) circuit It will also integrate a conventional froth flotation stage that will serve as a mineral separation technique for the beneficiation of the sulphide copper ore The ROM ore will be crushed in a single-stage crushing circuit with a gyratory crusher The crushed ore will then be milled in a primary SAG mill and a secondary ball mill A cone crusher will be used to crush pebbles from the SAG mill discharge screen and recycle it back to the mill feed conveyor The mill discharge will be pumped to a cyclone cluster and the cyclone underflow will be transferred by gravity to the secondary ball mill The rougher scalper concentrate will be transferred to the concentrate thickener while the rougher-scavenger concentrate will report to the regrind mill to recover gold and copper The reground concentrate is then transferred to a multi-stage cleaner flotation circuit and the final concentrate is thickened The Rovina Valley Project is accessible from Sibiu via a four-lane highway to Deva and then a 40km-long paved two-lane highway leading to Brad A 7km-long stretch of secondary paved roads then heads eastward to the village of Bucuresci within the Rovina property The mine will receive power from the Romanian power grid through an agreement between Mintia-Deva Power Station The estimated grid connection capacity for the project is 100 megavolt amperes (MVA) which will be supplied via an underground transmission line to the switchyard at the processing plant The process and raw water storage tanks at the project site will be fed from recovered inner-plant tailings filtration and thickener water return systems and the contact water catchment dam The dam is fed by stormwater from the surrounding hills and the waste facility underdrainage including feed from the respective pit dewatering facilities The DFS for the Rovina Valley project was prepared by South Africa-based project management and engineering firm New Senet Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the GlobalData Media network A conference on "Sustainable Economic Opportunities in the Jiu Conurbation" was held on 13-15 December 2023 The conference concluded the technical assistance provided to Jiu Conurbation region through the Just Transition Platform Groundwork programme which supports regions t to implement the Just Transition Fund (JTF) The JTF allocated EUR 19.2 billion of EU budget for the 2021-27 period Romania is the third largest beneficiary of the JTF with an allocation of some EUR 2.14 billion Six counties in Romania are eligible for JTF financing of which the Jiu Conurbation comprise three of these – Hunedoara The Jiu Conurbation’s economy is historically reliant on coal mining and coal power plants and the decarbonisation process has already started Mining operations in Gorj and Hunedoara are programmed to cease by 2031 and the closure of all coal power plants in the region is also anticipated ahead of Romania’s 2032 coal phase-out date Estimated job losses range from 1% of the employed population in Dolj to 5.5% in Hunedoara The JTF will provide significant resources – worth over 10% of the region’s GDP – to help cope with these challenges and support the transition With such large challenges and significant resources to address them the region can benefit from support implementing the JTF increased cooperation between different stakeholders to design and implement relevant projects that support economic and social rejuvenation of the region is required This includes collaboration among and between the private sector NGOs and others to implement projects that support the economic and social development of the region; cooperation between businesses and training establishments to ensure workers can upgrade or adapt their skills to up-and-coming industries; and cooperation between local authorities and the private sector in identifying investments in infrastructure and simplifying procedures for business investment JTP Groundwork has helped to reduce constraints and spur the transition by identifying needs and helping to establish connections – and teams – that can design and implement private and public projects well into the future To facilitate connections among stakeholders an extensive series of focus groups and workshops within the Jiu Conurbation was held These brought together over 250 representatives from the private sector The closing conference held in Petrosani: (i) provided an opportunity for participants to learn about the region’s economic opportunities and why the transition is important for the region; (ii) shared stories about successful projects within the Jiu Conurbation and elsewhere in Europe; and (iii) built on previous events to provide opportunities for stakeholders from different backgrounds to build meaningful connections and discuss potential projects that can foster environmentally conscious economic development and employment creation in the region “The Jiu Conurbation has an opportunity to boost economic growth and employment and we do not need to do it alone The European Union is providing us with significant resources to help us we need to mobilise and work together to develop projects that improve our society and economic performance,” stated Adina Vințan of the Valea Jiului Society a local NGO supporting the economic and social transition “New entrepreneurs and existing firms have a real opportunity to invest in new and sustainable business activities in the Jui Conurbation The JTF helps to reduce costs and risks and we can support our region’s transition by stimulating new economic opportunities and employment” said Robert Paskuj born in the city of Petroșani as a son of a former miner “We need to receive applications for JTF funds that can really boost green economic opportunities and jobs it is essential for different actors to join forces for the best projects and for different stakeholders to collaborate on those projects” the Deputy General Director of the West Regional Development Agency The conference – and broader JTP Groundwork – have served as a launchpad for ongoing collaborations between the public sector NGOs and others committed to driving positive change through the just transition The collective commitment towards sustainable economic development in the Jiu Conurbation echoes the broader aspirations of the European Union's initiatives aligning regional transitions with global efforts towards a greener future.  Through adequate implementation of the JTF the transition offers significant opportunities up to 100 000 new green jobs can be created – more than 3 for every 1 lost as a result of the transition With its background in energy and a pool of well-trained workers the Jiu Conurbation has the potential to reap considerable benefits from the transition to cleaner power and modern manufacturing sectors Yet reaping these benefits will require good design of projects eligible for JTF financing and improved quality of life for citizens in the region will enter the closure process this year after several postponements the European Commission approved state aid to finance the closure of the two mines in 2018 The closure plan has been updated and re-notified to the European Commission and now the Ministry of Energy has prepared a new draft government decision to close them The two mines belong to the Hunedoara Energy Complex which has been in insolvency for several years its Mintia thermal power plant has been sold to Mass Global Energy Rom a major global energy producer with capacities of over 8,500 MW State aid worth RON 27 million from the Ministry of Energy budget will be granted for this operation this year This amount will cover costs of severance payments to employees who lose their jobs (RON 186 thousand); costs of vocational retraining (RON 60 thousand); costs of recultivation of areas (RON 26,996 thousand) CE Hunedoara’s failure to comply with the conditions undertaken in order to obtain state aid to facilitate the closure of uncompetitive coal mines leads the Ministry of Energy to apply the necessary measures to recover it State aid for 2023 is a support measure that is part of a wider plan of measures aimed at closing the uncompetitive mines of the insolvent Complexul Energetic Hunedoara S.A These support measures are granted up to and including 2024 and have been notified to and authorised by the European Commission The closure of the two exploitations requires extensive safety work to avoid the risk of self-ignition According to a study conducted by the Główny Instytut Górnictwa which validated the assessment and risks previously identified by the Romanian experts coal has to be mined for a period of about 4-6 years in the process of mine closure which requires the extension of the closure period of Lonea and Lupeni mines the work to secure the hard coal deposit will be carried out until 31 December 2024 followed by the final closure and land greening works in 2025-2026 given the similar nature of the coal beds at the Vulcan and Livezeni mines measures similar to those established for the Lonea and Lupeni mines are required The Vulcan and Livezeni mines are mining exploitations located in the same coal basin of the Jiu Valley and present the same risks of coal self-ignition According to the results of the Polish study the safe closure of the Livezeni and Vulcan mines can be achieved through the mining of hard coal by 2030 while the final closure and land greening works will be carried out by 31 December 2032 and since then mining activity has been almost uninterrupted here the Government adopted the Emergency Ordinance on the decarbonisation of the energy sector it may be decided to postpone the closure of some coal-fired power plants or restart some energy groups the closure and safety period for coal mines it could be decided – in the event of a crisis situation – to extend their closure until 2026 as well as to close and secure the Livezeni and Vulcan mines until 2032 After the great liquidation of the mining sector in the late 1990s the Jiu Valley region never recovered economically which led to massive depopulation and an ageing resident population The liquidation of the last remnants of mining in the coming years will put even more pressure on the inhabitants of these areas in the absence of viable livelihood alternatives the government launched the “Strategy for the economic social and environmental development of the Jiu Valley (2022 – 2030)” in an attempt to revive the area the Government will be able to use non-reimbursable European funds made available through the Just Transition Mechanism for regions in energy transition but which will generate investments estimated at €30-35 billion plus European money from the Innovation Fund The new strategy has a lot of European money at its disposal the only question mark being the authorities’ ability to develop the projects needed to attract it nine of which have been greened up and two others – Uricani and Paroșeni – are in the process of being greened up The Lonea Mining Exploitation and the Lupeni Mining Exploitation are in a closure programme in accordance with Decision 2010/787/EU supplemented by Decision C(2018) 1001 final with the prospect of completing underground closure works by the end of 2026 recultivation of the surfaces by the end of 2027 it is stated in the Strategy for the economic social and environmental development of the Jiu Valley (2022-2030) published by the Romanian Government Insufficient tax incentives to attract investors In order to support the efforts to attract investment in the Jiu Valley the possibility of higher state aid will be examined as the measure has been tried in the past when the Jiu Valley was declared a disadvantaged area and the investments made benefited from a preferential tax regime this measure has proved insufficient to attract investors for several reasons The area lacked a well-qualified workforce poorly developed transport and social infrastructure etc The Government is betting heavily on the development of tourism in the Jiu Valley this sector will be insufficient to absorb the workforce about 6,200 unemployed people were officially registered in the area of which those with a high school education had the highest share Bishop Nestor received the vote of the synodal members for the second time this year after being elected Assistant Bishop to the Diocese of Deva on February 25 “The natural joy of this moment is no longer the same it is a comforting balm over a sorrowful heart and overall the sorrowful hearts of those of us who are in the Diocese of Deva and Hunedoara,” the bishop said immediately after his election The newly elected Bishop expressed his intention to continue the work and capitalize more on the rich material left by Bishop Gurie after 12 years of pastoral ministry but we hope that through the spirit he left in the Diocese of Deva and Hunedoara and through the work he carried on with the help of God and through the intercession of His Grace to continue the fruitful work he has done in Hunedoara County.” Bishop Nestor thanked Patriarch Daniel of Romania “May the memory of His Grace Bishop Gurie be eternal and I continue to ask you all: Remember me in your prayers support and guidance so that as one who is younger in the Holy Synod I may continue the work and carry on the legacy left by our Bishop Gurie,” the newly elected Bishop of Deva and Hunedoara noted The enthronement of the new bishop of Deva will take place on December 26 Bishop Nestor of Deva and Hunedoara is the second youngest hierarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church after Assistant Bishop Benedict of Bistrita of the Cluj Archdiocese in Craiova and studied theology in his home city in the History and Philosophy of Religions from the Faculty of Orthodox Theology in Alba Iulia He was ordained to the diaconate in 2007 and tonsured a monk in 2009 In 2011 he was ordained a Hieromonk and Protosyncellus and in 2014 he was elevated to the rank of archimandrite he was administrative vicar of the Diocese of Deva and Hunedoara He was

Copyright © 2025 The Direct Media Group LLC Attempting to imprison Vlad the Impaler might seem an awfully risky move but in the 15th century that is exactly what one Hungarian leader is believed to have done keeping Vlad in the chambers beneath his palace Or at least that’s what new research using radar scans of the ground beneath Castelul Corvinilor suggest The scan findings were presented on December 12th at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union Castelul Corvinilor — also called Corvin Castle as well as Hunedoara Castle and Hunyadi Castle — began as an outpost built in what was then Transylvania The structure’s oldest mill fortifications date to the 14th century and a shift from outpost to palace was taking place in the 15th century according to lead researcher Isabel Morris a doctoral claimant with a Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering from Princeton University Corvin Castle is now considered one of the seven wonders of Romania and one of the largest castles in Europe was reportedly detained in Castle Corvin by a leading Hungarian noble The powerful Hungarian had tangled with Vlad’s family Vlad’s father and eldest brother were murdered after Hunyadi During this time Hunyadi installed Vlad’s second cousin It is thought probable that Vlad was held in the castle’s underground chambers and there is even a legend that he went insane while captive (He was also a hostage in Turkey while he was young.) Little is known about Vlad III’s whereabouts between 1448 and 1456 and this could have been the time when he was held underground in the castle Later Vlad was freed from the castle and was able to hold control of his father’s domains; he had many people murdered who he believed were his enemies He was also a fierce opponent of the Ottoman sultan Vlad the Impaler is sometimes referred to as the real-life inspiration for Count Dracula invented by Bram Stoker in his 1897 novel and depicted countless times since The connection between Vlad and Dracula comes from the word “dracul.” Vlad’s father was inducted into a knightly order This designation earned him a new surname: Dracul The name came from the old Romanian word for dragon would later be known as the “son of Dracul,” or in old Romanian It is possible that Vlad’s first wife was the illegitimate daughter of the man who imprisoned him Bram Stoker never explicitly said that his vampire creation was Vlad the Impaler The connection was made more directly in Francis Ford Coppola’s film Dracula and in such novels as Elizabeth Kostova’s The Historian Because of centuries of rebuilding and additions archaeologists weren’t certain where Corvin Castle’s substructure was located Radar scans have helped them pinpoint rooms that were in use during that time Hard evidence of Vlad’s presence is lacking Read another story from us: New Findings Reveal the Books that Inspired Bram Stoker’s Creation of Dracula “The research has uncovered a previously unknown torture chamber but no evidence – physical or paranormal – of whether Vlad spent time there in it during an alleged 7-year imprisonment at the castle in the 1400s,” according to Mysterious Universe His body was cut into pieces and his head was sent to Mehmed II a former staff editor at Entertainment Weekly has written a trilogy of historical thrillers for Touchstone Books is a spy story set in the 18th-century porcelain world a former staff editor at *Entertainment Weekly facebook.com/NancyBilyeauAuthor/ Join 1000s of subscribers and receive the best Vintage News in your mailbox for FREE
