Electromagnetica invests 10 million euros in two hydropower plants
Producer of electrical and telecommunications equipment Electromagnetica Bucharest (ELMA) has announced its intentions to invest some 10 million euros in the construction of a small hydropower plant and in the modernization of another unit of production in the Brodina River basin, located in the Suceava County (north-eastern Romania), Ziarul financiar daily reads on April 7. The plant is going to invest by 30% more than the amount provided for this purpose in the budget - 7.7 million euros, with the investment plan having already been approved by shareholders at the recent General Assembly. Electromagnetica started producing electric power in 2007, following the acquisition of several units from Hidroelectrica. The company recorded 6.7 million euros in net profit in 2009, double compared with results in 2008. The 2009 turnover amounted to about 94.6 million euros.

Investors kick off works on 1,082 MW Romania-sited wind parks
The Construction works had kicked off by March 2011 for wind power projects with an aggregate installed capacity of 1,082 MW, director of the Renewable Energy Department of the National Energy Regulatory Agency (ANRE) Radu Regman told a seminar on energy. "Connection approvals were issued so far for a total capacity of 11,000 MW and contracts were signed for 6,000 MW; incorporation approvals were also issued and construction works have started for facilities with a combined capacity of 1,082 MW," said Regman. He added that "wind power will cover 70-80 pct of the renewable energy production target." Romania increased last year its installed wind capacity by 448 MW to 462 MW, landing the seventh position in the EU by the growth in volume, reads a report by the European Wind Energy Association - EWEA. The share of wind energy of the total domestic consumption is 24 pct in Denmark, 14 pct in Spain and Portugal, about 10 pct in Ireland and Germany, and 5.3 pct across the EU; wind power covers just 1.6 pct of Romania’s electricity consumption. Numerous wind power projects are underway or under preparation in Romania, developed by companies such as CEZ (350 MW), Iberdrola (500-600 MW), Verbund (200 MW), Energias de Portugal (230 MW) or Continental Wind Partners (232 MW).

Energy industry in figures
Energy amount traded on PCCB in 2010, up to 79,165 GWh
The amount of energy traded last year on the Centralized Market of Bilateral Contracts (PCCB) was of 79,165 GWh, about 22 percent higher compared to the one traded in 2009, according to data centralized by the National Regulatory Authority for Energy (ANRE). The average trading price last year stood at 161.62 lei / MWh, compared to 161.37 lei / MWh in 2009. A volume of 28,942 GWh was traded based on regular contracts, and 50,223 GWh on negotiated contracts.
Thermal energy produced in 2010 amounts to 17,359 Tcal
The thermal energy generated in 2010 for delivery in Romania was 17,359 Tcal, 0.03 percent lower than in the previous year, according to data centralized by the Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE). The thermal energy produced by cogeneration was 14,120 Tcal, 1.24 percent lower than in 2009. There was an amount of 2,522.73 Tcal of thermal energy produced for delivery in December 2010 and 2,161.68 Tcal of cogenerated energy.

Local energy market to see robust growth by 2015
One of the most interesting phenomena to follow until 2015 on the energy market will be the trend of the wind segment, Ziarul Financiar daily writes. The reference year 2015 is indicated because the start of 2,500-3,000 MW capacity is estimated until then, namely the equivalent of four reactors of the Cernavoda nuclear power plant (southern Romania), which now has only two reactors in operation. To reach this level from wind energy production, investments of some 5 billion euros will be needed. According to European statistics, 448 MW were installed in Romania in wind farms last year, the equivalent of some investments worth 800 million euros. Numerous wind energy projects, developed by companies such as CEZ (350 MW), Iberdrola (500-600 MW), Verbund (200 MW), Energias de Portugal (230 MW) or Continental Wind Partners (232 MW), are under preparation or underway in Romania. Moreover, the projects done last year led to a capacity leap of over 32 times compared with 2009, Romania being the seventh EU member country in terms of newly finalized wind projects. Thus, local investments accounted for 5% of the total capacity newly installed in the 27 EU member states. The electricity consumption is also expected to rise by some 5-10% versus 2010, the quoted daily estimates. In terms of energy production generated from oil, although the price of barrel has exceeded the threshold of 100 dollars amid the incidents in North Africa, analysts believe its value could stand between 95 and 110 dollars per barrel in 2015, the quoted daily mentions. Also expected in 2015 are the first deliveries of natural gas through the transcontinental gas pipeline Nabucco, with 2011 being a milestone year for the achievement of this major European project. Moreover, the natural gas price is expected to be deregulated in 2015, which will bring substantial gains to producers but will also lead to higher bills for end-consumers, Ziarul Financiar estimates.

Creation of a public limited company (SA) in Romania (societate pe actiuni in romania )
If you invest in Romania, then the limited company is one the options. A joint stock corporation is normally recognized by the use of the words limited incorporated or corporation in its name (Societate pe Actiuni, S.A).
The creation of a public company requires a minimum capital of the Romanian equivalent of 90000 RON. At the day of the creation at least 30% of the social capital is paid and if it is a creation by public subscription then this percentage increased to 50%.
Within 12 months from the registration (formation of the company in Romania) of the company at the local registry the social capital should be fully paid via a Romanian commercial bank. If you increase the capital, the maximum period for full payment for the new shares is 36 months.
A public limited company must have at least two shareholders, it may be natural - and legal persons. The partners of a limited liability company are only liable within the limits of their contribution to the company. The capital of a limited liability company is represented by shares in registered or bearer shares and may be freely tradable.
Each share has a nominal value of at least 0.1 new lei. In addition, all shares of equal value, because all members of a limited liability company have equal rights.
The management of a joint-stock company is assumed by a Council of Administration (Board of Directors), although it is possible to have only one Administrator. At least half of the Administrators must be Romanian citizens unless the articles of incorporation and corporate by-laws provide otherwise. The Directors do not necessarily need to be shareholders. The Directors are appointed by the General Meeting of shareholders, which establishes their powers, for a maximum mandate of four years. They may be re-elected. Before starting their activity, the Directors must deposit a guarantee, representing at least the value of ten shares or double the amount of their monthly remuneration.
Decisions are taken by majority vote at the General Assembly, a share represents a vote in principle but there may be restrictions placed on the voting rights of a shareholder who holds more shares.

Law No.99/1999, regarding certain measures for the economic reform acceleration, added new provision to the Company Law. Therefore, any shareholder is entitled to request information on the management of the company, maximum twice during a financial year. In addition, one or several shareholders representing at least 10% of company share capital may request the court to appoint experts which will be in charge with the analyses of certain operations in the management of the company.

In establishing a limited company there should be a board of 6 censors. Their job consists of checking the activities of the company. At least one of these six censors must have an approved auditor. The censors are elected by the majority on the Assembly, increasing their mandate lasts 3 years. Afterwards they can be re elected for another mandate. The censors are accountable regarding their findings to the General Assembly. First they check the accounts of the company and keep an eye on them or clauses which were fixed by the statutes are not violated. If an irregularity is determined by the censors, they may convene a General Meeting.
