The Rovinari Thermal Power Plant is one of the electricity suppliers of Oltenia (together with Turceni Thermal Power Plant, Craiova Thermal Power Plant) covering one third of the national electricity production. The aim of this paper is to determine practically, by drilling, the physical and mechanical characteristics of the soil in the area of Rovinari Thermal Power Plant. The paper is intended to be an introduction to a broader study on the influence of mining lignite quarries in the Rovinari mining basin on the stability of the buildings in the Rovinari thermal power plant and its coal and slag-ash deposits. This stability depends on the safe functioning of the thermal power plant throughout its lifetime.
