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.
Romania has set ambitious targets for developing renewable energy sources, including solar power. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of large-scale PV projects in Romania, covering project details, readiness levels, key players, and the overall impact on the energy sector and the environment.
In the context of the European ambitions, Romania would need to aim for 44.4% RES, meaning 11.1 GW of solar - 6.1 GW for utility-scale and 5 GW for rooftop PV1. Drivers for solar growth The last two years have been marked by significant legislative changes that underpinned the development of the Romanian PV sector.
The Romanian PV market has entered a new boom phase, driven by the current security context, the imperative of green transition, and the favorable permitting framework. As the country moves towards decarbonization and the large-scale adoption of clean technologies, the outlook for the future of PV points to sustained development.
National targets for solar PV With an average of 1,900 to 2,400 annual sunlight hours, Romania has significant natural potential for solar PV development. Yet, the country has not set ambitious targets for renewable energy sources, aiming for only 30.7% of its final energy consumption to come from RES by 2030.
With the addition of 297 MW in utility-scale projects installed between Q1 and Q3 2023, the centralized PV capacity reached 1.6 GW, accounting for 28% of the total solar installed capacity this year (see Fig. GW 13).
