Romania agrees “in principle” with Serbia’s 2.4 GW proposed Iron Gates 3 Danube hydropower plant

The government of Romania is in the phase of an inter-ministerial evaluation regarding the Iron Gates 3 project, as the Romanian executive responded to Economica.net when inquired about the country’s position after the US Embassy in Serbia launched an invitation to companies interested in participating in the project for a new hydroelectric power plant on the Danube.

“[The evaluation] aims not only at the economic impact and the impact on the energy system in Romania, but also at the environmental aspects. In principle, Romania is fully open to this project," the Romanian government said.
