One of Romania's biggest energy projects, the over 1bn-euro hydropower station of Tarniţa-Lăpuşteşti, is taking its first steps after the Economy Ministry this summer started selecting investors and setting up the project company.
Those preparing the details related to starting construction works say that next year the investor due to come up with the money together with Hidroelectrica for construction works involving 5,000 people to start is likely to be selected. So far, the list of interested parties includes 150 names.
