Speaking at the European Hydropower Summit in Bucharest, Borbely said Romania’s inland waterway system offers opportunities for projects of up to 5,900 MW, while additional investments in power plants on the Danube River can generate extra 2,100 MW.
“The full potential is of 8,000 MW, of which 1,134 MW can be generated by micro power plants. The micro plants currently in use have a total installed capacity of 400 MW,” Borbely said.
