Wind energy is playing an increasingly important role in Romania's energy mix. This renewable energy source has the potential to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to achieving European climate neutrality targets and creating new jobs in the green energy production sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current situation of wind energy in Romania<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Romania has favorable geographical conditions for the development of wind power projects, especially in Dobrogea, one of the best regions in Europe for wind power generation. Over the last decade, our country has taken important steps towards exploiting this resource, and installed capacity has increased significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to data from Transelectrica and ANRE, at the end of 2024, the total installed capacity in wind farms exceeded 3,100 MW, representing approximately 17% of Romania's total electricity production capacity. The largest projects are located in the counties of Constanta and Tulcea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pace of development of this type of project is influenced by legislative bottlenecks, support schemes, and the ability to connect to the national grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Dobrogea, initiatives are also beginning to emerge in other regions such as Moldova and Banat Montan, thanks to improvements in technology and the possibility of operating at lower wind speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 2025, new installations of over 2,712 MW are expected to come online, followed by approximately 900 MW in 2026. These estimates take into account projects with connection contracts signed, building permits submitted to network operators, and establishment permits already issued by ANRE. Some older parks are being replaced with modern, more efficient turbines, which contributes to increased efficiency without territorial expansion (repowering projects).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the end of this year, the first tender for offshore wind farm areas will be launched, with Romania becoming the first country bordering the Black Sea to have a regulatory framework for offshore wind energy production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major challenges in the development of the wind energy sector<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although the potential is high, the development of wind energy projects in Romania faces a number of obstacles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
