Đerdap Lake
The Iron Gate I Hydroelectric Power Station (, /Đerdap I) is the largest dam on the Danube river and one of the largest hydro power plants in Europe. It is located on the Iron Gate gorge, between Romania and Serbia. The Romanian side of the power station produces approximately annually, while the Serbian side of the power station produces . History The project started in 1964 as a joint-venture between the governments of Romania and Yugoslavia for the construction of a major dam on the Danube River which would serve both countries. At the time of completion in 1972, it was the 10th largest hydroelectric power stations in the world with twelve Kaplan turbines generating , divided equally between the two countries at each.HE Djerdap (in Serbian) The small inhabited island of |

Though it was only functional for 165 years, it is often considered to have been the longest arch bridge in both total span and length for more than 1,000 years. The bridge was completed in 105 AD and designed by Emperor Trajan's architect Apollodorus of Damascus before the Second Dacian War to allow Roman troops to cross the river. Fragmentary ruins of the bridge's piers are still in existence.

Energy In Serbia
Energy in Serbia is dominated by fossil fuels, despite the public preference for renewable energy. In 2021 Serbia's total energy supply was almost 700 PJ, with the energy mix comprising coal (45%), oil (24%), gas (15%), and renewables (16%). Bioenergy and hydroelectric power were the leading contributors within the renewable energy category, accounting for 67% and 29% of the renewable supply, respectively. History On 6 October 1893, the first Serbian power plant, located in the Dorćol urban neighborhood of Belgrade, began production of electricity. In 1900, the first alternating current hydroelectric power plant ''Pod gradom'' in Užice on the river Đetinja went online. The first alternating current transmission line from hydroelectric power plant ''Vučje'' to Leskovac, with the length of , went online three years later. In 1909, hydroelectric plants ''Gamzigrad'' in Zaječar and ''Sveta Petka'' in Niš began to build. Two years later, the hydroelectric power station on the ...

Energy In Romania
Energy in Romania describes energy production, consumption and import in Romania. Romania has significant oil and gas reserves, substantial coal deposits and it has considerable installed hydroelectric power. However, Romania imports oil and gas from Russia and other countries. To ease this dependency Romania seeks to use nuclear power as an alternative for electricity generation. Overview Electric power in Romania is dominated by government enterprises, although privately operated coal mines and oil refineries also existed. Accordingly, Romania placed an increasingly heavy emphasis on developing nuclear power generation. Electric power was provided by the ''Romanian Electric Power Corporation'' (CONEL). Energy sources used in electric power generation consisted primarily of nuclear, coal, oil, and liquefied natural gas (LNG). The country has two nuclear reactors, located at Cernavodă, generating about 18–20% of the country's electricity production. Statistics Ene ...
