puterea instalat/cumparata

Romanian to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation Electricity from renewable sources
"au drcptul/optiunea de a reduce puterea instalata/cumparata totala maxima a Unitâtilor de Productie din portofoliul..."

I am translating from French to English, the original being in Romanian. I don't understand the French, perhaps the Romanian is clear?

All help gratefully received

Non-PRO (1): mihaela.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I am glad if I can help. Yep, definitely not "compared". Purchased - like by the Government, probably at a subsidized rate. :-)

Compared would be "comparata" - but then, compared to what?
Note from asker:
Hello Sangro. I might have guessed, you are everywhere it seems! So "comparée" is incorrect, it seems!
Thank you Sangro, I'm going with that!
