The UCM Jiu was founded in 1987 under the name of Site Group “Jiu” – Tg. Jiu and it is the successor of the subsidiaries which along the time were involved in the performance of the development Cerna – Motru – Tismana, Stage I development started in 1972.

During the time the following teams worked within this subsidiary:

- site group Cerna – Belareca with head office in Mehadia Caras Severin between 1983 – 1987;

Between 1972-1987 the listed subsidiaries performed the following works within the development Cerna – Motru – Tismana:
- the main dam and the closing one on the Cerna river – commissioning 1979 – completed 1980;
