Reports are surfacing that Russian oil company Lukoil and Italian firm ERG might buy a wind farm project in Romania. Under the name LUKErg Renew, the joint venture could purchase an 84 MW wind farm in Tulcea County in South Western Romania, according to business news service Bloomberg, which cites the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
