Societe Generale plans to fund reactors 3 and 4 from Cernavoda

“We will keep monitoring this project. We will attend the negotiations, after Romanian authorities would make public the bid for financing the project”, said Ribiana Crasan, at a press conference on nuclear power.

Societe Generale has previously lent Nuclearelectrica 430 million euros in 2002, for the construction of reactor 2 from Cernavoda, which started operating in 2007.

The state secretary within the Ministry of Economy, Tudor Serban who attended the event, said he would contact all the major banks in order to start negotiations for the loan required in the construction of the two reactors.

BRD-Groupe Societe Generale is Romania’s second biggest bank by asset and holds the second largest market capitalization at Bucharest Stock Exchange. The majority shareholder of the bank is Societe Generale, one of the biggest banking groups in the euro area, counting over 27 million clients around the world.
