After Edel obtained the 'synthetic ammonia' technology, he continued to care about the Romanian industrial construction led by himself.
After more than three years of construction, a large number of factories have been established in Bucharest, Constanta, Ploiesti, etc. Large factories have complete supporting facilities, but in numerous small factories with dozens of people,
The conditions are not that good anymore.
Now Edel is looking at the statistics in this area. The most important thing now is electricity. In several industrial cities, due to the existence of large factories, the electricity supply is pretty good. However, there are also power rationing situations. In addition, for daily use
As for electricity, the demand will continue to increase in the next few years.
"We can only count on the royal family to fund infrastructure construction." Eder is also very troubled by this. Now the government's finances are struggling to cope with the reorganization of the army. It should be completed under the premise that the number of factories has gradually increased in the past two years and fiscal revenue has increased.
of.
If the economic situation is still the same as before, the government will not be able to spend money for emergency plans. Previously, Prime Minister Stuart Li failed to pay enough salaries to lower-level officials because the government was short of money. The lower-level officials were discussed a lot, but he finally paid
The sounds disappeared after they made up for it.
"Go and bring in Consultant Hersmann." Edel ordered the captain of the guard. Now the crown prince needs to understand the future growth trend of power supply in order to purposefully reduce the occurrence of this situation.
The next day Edel met Hersmann in the office. As a German, Hersmann has a unique German rigor and is extremely responsible for his work. He occasionally likes to travel and enjoy the beautiful scenery in various places.
"I have seen His Highness, and I wonder how I can help the Crown Prince." Hersman knew that the Crown Prince must have something to do with him, so he asked directly.
"Hersman, you are an electric power expert. Do you have any good suggestions for Romania's current power shortage?" The crown prince asked Hersman, hoping that he could give professional advice.
Hersmann has been working in Romania for several years. He previously worked for Siemens and later worked as a technical expert at a small thermal power plant in Romania. Later, Edel met him during an inspection and the crown prince felt that Hersmann was quite capable.
.After receiving the payment for the goods in Germany, he was appointed as his own consultant, specializing in providing consultation on electricity for Edel.
"Crown Prince, the current power shortage is caused by the rapid industrial development in Romania and the failure to keep up with the heavy investment in power plant construction." Hersman said euphemistically. This was Edel's previous payment for equipment.
Not thoughtful.
How could Edel fail to understand what Helsman meant? He had no experience in introducing equipment and technology before. He only focused on more conspicuous industries such as steel, chemicals, and military industries. At that time, he only prepared 10 5,000 KW generator sets. As a result,
The forecast was very good, but the small supporting factories were not taken into account. In addition, the power plant was a large investment with low returns, so there was almost no private investment, leading to the current situation. (Capital likes high returns.
Industries, such as investment in light industry, finance, etc.)
"Now I plan to change this phenomenon. I wonder what kind of reasonable suggestions Mr. Hersman can give me?" Edel stated his request directly without hesitation.
After hearing the crown prince's question, Hersman replied. "I think the power facilities being built now need to take into account the development situation in the next few years. Romania has good water resources and can build hydropower stations to solve the power supply problem in cities relying on rivers.
Question. Other cities can build thermal power plants nearby."
Edel heard the consultant's suggestion that the electricity produced by hydroelectric power stations is cheaper, but the initial investment is too large (3-4 times that of thermal power plants). Edel plans to wait until he has money. The construction cost of thermal power stations is still relatively high.
It is more economical. The management pollution is serious, the personnel cost is high, and the operating cost is high. But now is not the time to consider this problem. We must first solve the existing problems.
"Mr. Consultant, can you predict Romania's electricity demand in a few years?" Edel asked the topic he was most concerned about.
"Okay, Your Highness, I predict that in a few years Romania will need about 300,000 to 400,000 kilowatts of installed capacity to meet demand, of which Constanta will use a little more." Faced with the crown prince's question, Hersman said
gave his own suggestions.
After a conversation between Crown Prince Edel and Hersmann, he learned about the current electricity usage in Romania and also gained a general understanding of the future development of electricity.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Hersman for your help. I will fully consider your suggestion." Edel told Hersman. After finishing speaking, he turned to the captain of the guard and said, "Send Scheher for me."
Sir Siman."
Calust stepped forward and stretched out his hand to guide Mr. Consultant and said, "Your Excellency Hersman, please come this way."
Hersmann nodded to the captain of the guard. "Thank you."
After Edel sent Helsman away, he was thinking about what the consultant had just said. The current price of a 10,000-kilowatt thermal power generation unit is about 15,000 to 18,000 pounds. According to the lowest standard, a photovoltaic power generation unit costs
450,000 pounds, plus other supporting boilers, steam turbines, etc., it takes at least 800,000 pounds to meet the minimum demand.
Edel knew that Station 1 would explode in a few years, when Romania would usher in a period of rapid economic development. The amount of consumption estimated by Hersman was far from enough.
According to Edel's estimate, an installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatts can basically meet the demand. According to Edel's plan, this will require 1.4 million to 1.6 million pounds to meet the demand. Now, after the royal family funds are deducted, they need to pay back the American payment and leave a reserve.
Only 3.14 million pounds can be used. Edel also has other uses for this money, and only 1.2 million pounds is deducted, which is obviously not enough.
At this point, Edel also let out a long sigh. Industry is difficult to build. I don't know how other people managed to easily establish industrialization in the books I read in my previous life.
Edel thought carefully and found no good solution, and suddenly thought of a crisis that caused the collapse of the government of a large country in the East. Perhaps this could be used to raise funds for his own power plant. However, before doing so, he still needed to consider the issue of power plant construction.
Edel called the captain of the guard, Carlust, and asked him to send bidding messages to Siemens of Germany and General Motors of the United States. The total installed capacity of a number of thermal power plants needed to be built was 500,000 kilowatt-hours. Soon the messages were placed in two
On the desks of the company's top executives. Faced with a big business worth about 1.5 million pounds, both companies attach great importance to it.
General Motors decided to send a company executive to lead a team to participate in the bidding, and Siemens also decided to send a vice president to lead a team to participate.
