Virgil Popescu cere ca Hidroelectrica să intre în proiectul Porțile de Fier III: „România trebuie să fie partener, nu spectator”

Virgil Popescu emphasizes Romania's need for full participation in the Porțile de Fier III hydropower project, highlighting potential impacts on shared resources. He questions job creation claims in Mehedinți, given the project's location in Serbia. The signed memorandum allows for information exchange but does not approve the investment. Popescu insists on evaluating effects on existing hydropower plants and the Danube's navigation and irrigation systems. He calls for Hidroelectrica's involvement and a thorough analysis of the project's implications, including its relation to the BALA II project and cooling needs for Cernavodă reactors.
