The Rumanian Electric Power Plan provides for production of 1,196,000 loss of
thermoelectric power and 764,000 kws hydroelectric paler. _Thermoelectric
power is to provide 59.8 percent of the country's power; hydroelectric power .
is to provide 38.2 percent. Certain small power producing plants of uncertain
classification are to provide the rest. The general total is to be 2,000,000
loss. These figures are for the period of one year. They are apparently to
be reached between 1955 and 1960 and exceeded after 1960. \
2. By 1955, production is expected to reach the following levelss Total capacity
1,700,000 kws; available power 1,666,000 kws. By 1960 these figures are
expected to be total capacity 2,600,000 kws; available power 2,500,000.
Thermoelectric power in 1955 is to reach 1,370,000 kvs; in 1960D 1,765,000 kws.
Hydroelectric power is to be 290,000 kws. in 1955; 735,000 kits. in 1960.
3. This compares with the foLlowing figures for 1950s Total 'Capacity 740,000 kws;
available power, 600,000 loss; thermoelectric 550,000 kws; hydroelectric
50p000 kws.
4. The Electric Power Plan provides for seven systemss
Ymntenia System
Oltenia System
North Moldavia System
South Moldavia System (to include Rumanian Dobrogea)
Central Transylvania System
Northwest Transylvania System
Southwest Transylvania System

6. The-great Stejar hydroelectric center on- the Bistrita River, now called Vladimir
Ilici Lenine, will have a'capacitY of 210,000 kws. The Izvorul Muntelui dam
and lake Will produce 3000000 halo The thermoelectric power center of
Filipestii de Padure and that of Doicesti will burn lignite. The thermoelectric
power center of Petrossini in the Jim Vail'will burn second quality coal not
used at all at present. It will produce 150,000 IniSo The thermoelectric
center of Valisoara and the hydroelectric 'power center of Raul Mare will supply
the coal industry of- the Jiu Valley. It will also supply the regions of
Resita and Hunedoara, the Otelul Rosu industries, the Banat, and Southwestern
Transylvania.,
7, Of 139000 Rumanian villages less than a thousand have electric power. Two
thousand are now to be supplied with power, commencing with the machine and
tractor stations.
