Does Romania have a solar PV project in 2023?

Overview of solar PV developments Following a period of lull, Romania has achieved in 2023 a significant milestone in its renewable energy journey – over 1 GW of new solar capacity installed in one year between distributed generation and utility scale projects.

How many largescale solar projects are there in Romania?

As of the latest data available, there are over 880 large‐scale PV projects in Romania, boasting a cumulative capacity of approximately 46,600 MW. This impressive number showcases the country's commitment to harnessing solar energy as a clean and sustainable source of power.

Where can solar energy be developed in Romania?

Arad (5.40 GW) and Dolj (5.39 GW) are the most promising locations, but counties such as Giurgiu (4), Bihor (3.8), Teleorman (2.6), Timis (2.3) and Dambovita (2.3) also stand out in this respect. This geographical diversity highlights the potential for solar energy development across Romania.

What are the different solar energy schemes in Romania?

Some of the most notable schemes include: Feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme: Under this scheme, renewable energy producers in Romania, including solar energy producers, are guaranteed a fixed price for their electricity for 15 years. The FIT rates for solar energy are revised every year, and they depend on the type and size of the solar project.
