power plant

Romanian Economy Minister Virgil Popescu decided on Monday to send his Inspection Body to verify the Hunedoara Energy Complex and Mintia Power Plant, amid problems with unpaid salaries and coal production shortages, according to a ministry statement.

Romania’s second nuclear power plant will have 1,000 MW and will be built until 2030, ten years later than authorities' previous estimations, according to an appendix to the 2010 budget of the Ministry of Economy, Commerce and Business Environment.

Romania received encouraging signals from the European Union authorities and the Danube riverside countries about the country's plans to build new hydro-power plants on the Danube river in joint venture with Bulgaria, hydropower producer Hidroelectrica officials said Tuesday.

Romanian state-owned hydropower generator Hidroelectrica will complete in 2012 the construction works at a new hydropower plant on Jiu River, in an investment estimated at EUR200 million.
