Preserving Romania’s reserves of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and increased investments in infrastructure, to improve the communication systems, are two strategic directions that Romania should adopt as soon as possible, considers Sebastian Enache, business development manager, Monsson Group. In a statement for energynomics.ro, the organizer of the Energy Strategy Summit to be held in Bușteni (Prahova), on June 4, 2015, Sebastian Enache appreciates that another must is a sustained increase in hydroelectric power production by increased investments in hydroelectric power plants of large capacity, combined with dispersed pumped hydro capacities. “National energy strategy should include the objective of increased energy exports by 100%, by 2020, and implementation of a national program in order to increase Romania’s economic independence by increasing renewable energy production capacity to 50% share of the total, by 2050, and the reduction in coal-based energy production to 20% of the total production capacity“, Sebastian Enache also said.
