Romania seeks to reach 10 GW of installed capacity based on renewable resources by 2027, energy minister Virgil Popescu announced, according to Economica.net.

For this, 3 GW will be added within the next two to three years.

But all these projects need the evacuation of energy from the eastern part of the country to the west by a DC cable, he stressed.

"We are in discussions with European partners, with Emirates partners to be able to start this project. I am convinced we are very close to reaching an agreement", said Virgil Popescu.
