Wind is still the most popular clean source in Romania’s renewable sector, recently climbing to 1,222 MW of installed capacity, but there is a window of opportunity for photo-voltaic this year

At present, Romania is perceived as the country with the friendliest support scheme for renewable energy. The prices of green certificates (GC) have a minimum limit of EUR 27 per GC in order to protect producers, while the ceiling is EUR 55 per GC to protect consumers. Solar power is granted six GC for every generated MW, biomass three, wind two, while small-hydro has been allotted one or two.

The largest share of wind projects are located in Dobrogea (south Romania), totaling 1,100 MW, but the Moldova and Banat regions are also starting to attract investments.

This April, 10,458 MW of wind capacities received grid connection contracts, while 9,416 MW received grid connection technical permits (ATR), although an additional 15,000 MW of installed wind capacities are at the solution study level.  Meanwhile, photo-voltaic is trailing with 299 MW in contracts and 453 MW in ATR.
