Bergen Engines has secured a contract with Loial Impex SRL to deliver four of its B35:40V16AG2 gas-fueled generating sets for a new 30 MW combined heat and power (CHP) facility in the city of Oradea, Western Romania.
The plant is designed to deliver both electricity and district heating, the Bergen solution’s super high thermal efficiency being a key factor in the award decision.
The project will support the energy needs of over 70,000 homes and reflects a strategic push towards decentralised power generation within Romania’s urban grid.

Key Benefits of Cogeneration
Cogeneration, or combined heat and power (CHP), is an efficient approach to energy production. By simultaneously generating electricity and useful heat, cogeneration systems with Bergen Engines can achieve efficiency levels of over 80%, significantly higher than conventional power plants. This increased efficiency leads to several benefits for our customers:
- Reduced Emissions
Cogeneration reduces greenhouse gas emissions by utilizing waste heat that would otherwise be lost in traditional power generation processes. - Cost Savings
Increased efficiency leads to lower fuel consumption and operating costs, offering significant savings over the long term. - Energy Security
Local generation of heat and power reduces dependency on external energy supplies and enhances energy security for the region.
The Power of Medium Speed
Bergen Engines’ B35:40V16AG2 generating sets are designed with medium speed engines, which offer additional advantages in cogeneration applications. Our engines are known for their robust construction and longer lifespan, ensuring consistent performance and reduced maintenance costs.
These engines are optimized for high efficiency and lower fuel consumption, making them ideal for continuous operation in demanding applications. They can quickly adapt to varying load demands, providing a flexible and scalable solution for growing energy needs.
