Romania stands all the chances to become an important player on the energy market in South-Eastern Europe, but in order for such objective to turn real, a smart, clear and coherent strategy is needed for building interconnections with the neighbouring countries and for capitalizing on all the resources the country has, considers Frank Hajdinjak, CEO E.ON România. “State support should not be limited to certain high power generation capacity; it is also required a comprehensive package of support measures to stimulate investments required by the energy sector”, Frank Hajdinjak said for energynomics.ro, the organizer of the Energy Strategy Summit to be held in Bușteni (Prahova), on June 4, 2015. “However, the future of the domestic energy sector should not necessarily be focused on a number of mega-projects, but also to the development of smaller generation units, close to the point of consumption”, Frank Hajdinjak also said.
