RENEWABLE ENERGIES IN ROMANIA

A new report suggest that wind energy has a bright future in Romania.

Wind energy is developing around the world, but the pace is fastest in Europe, according to TPA Horwath Report on renewable energy.

Romania’s position as a good location for investment in wind energy is also improving, the country moved from being the 12th to the 10th most attactive country for investment in renewable energy in the world in Ernst & Young’s Renewable energy country attractiveness index, published in February 2012

The overall installed capacity of wind farms in Romania is relatively small – 1140 MW in April 2012 compared to Europe’s number one – Germany, with 29060 MW power.

However, in the last year, Romania was amongst the leaders in Europe for newly installed capacity, an increase of 520 MW, putting the country in 7th place behind Germany, U.K., Spain, Italy, France and Sweden.

Regionally, Romania led the pack for installing wind energy, ahead of second placed Poland’s 436 MW of newly installed capacity.

According to the TPA Horwath Report, despite making big progress in wind farm development – doubling capacity in the space of a year, Romania is still behind the National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) and the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) estimates. Both organizations estimated 1200 MW installed capacity by the end of 2011, while the actual figure reached was 992 MW. The two organizations estimate wind capacity to reach 1850 MW by the end of 2012.
