The construction and commissioning of micro-hydropower plants is a solution for obtaining cheap electricity, but it also has a not negligible impact on the environment. Romania, like any of the member states of the European Union, has committed itself to a share of energy, in the sense of obtaining electricity in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Micro-hydropower plants also fall into this category. From our point of view, their construction started with too much exuberance because we not only have some European rules that we must obey about the green energy quota, but we also have some European rules provided by directives that refer to the protection of ecosystems. And then we must judge a balance between getting the share of green energy we are committed to, but at the same time protecting our ecosystem. We have synthesized, reported, and analyzed the impact of micro hydropower plants according to good practice guidelines aimed at the harmonious development of communities about nature. |
