, NewsRomanian power utility Hidroelectrica is considering the acquisition of wind and solar plants in Romania, as well as energy companies abroad, CEO Bogdan Bogdea said, Romanian media reported.
According to ZiarulFinanciar, Hidroelectrica plans to open electricity trading offices in Hungary and Serbia. The biggest Romanian hydropower producer intends to inaugurate the office in Budapest, Hungary in September.
