The local officials bestowed particular attention to the lighting of the town by introducing street lamp lighting in 1850 and later, the electricity produced by the power plant located in the public gardens (1907).

Today, the kilowatts are pumped by the power giant from Gura-Vaii. Built as a result of the cooperation between Romania and neighboring Yugoslavia, it has an installed capacity of 2,050 Mw, half of which belongs to the Romanian party.

The development of the town as well as the prosperity of its inhabitants is due to the setting up of the port (1851) and of the ship repair shop (1858) which was the first in our country and became the centre of the future shipyard which was to become the most important one in the 1914 Romania and one of the most significant shipyards on the Danube.

In 1833, the modern town of Turnu Severin made its appearance as a commercial town which was developed following the plans drawn up by the engineer Xavier Villacrose (1835).
