The Romanian authorities have allocated 1.52 GW of renewable energy capacity in a procurement exercise, with the lowest bid for PV technology at €0.045 ($0.047)/kWh.
3 In the bar chart, the "Solar Roof with Value of Energy" is calculated based on a roof where 50 percent of the tiles are solar; 30 years of electricity production; and a grid
Growth in Solar is Led by Falling Prices Solar installation price drops over the last decade have made solar economically competitive with other sources of electricity generation and led to its growth in new markets. An average-sized residential
Romania''s revised NECP draft outlines modest growth targets for solar power capacity but this below the country''s solar potential and lacks specificity and concrete measures for achievement.
The renewable energy sector in Romania is at an exciting crossroads, with the country looking to address both domestic energy demand and international requirements to reduce carbon emissions. This article will delve into
Higher demand could lead to an increase in solar panel prices, so Romanians should consider installing them while costs remain reasonable. We expect a strong year
1 Megawatt Solar Power Plant Cost & Specifications On average, the cost of a 1MW solar power plant in India ranges between Rs 4 – 5 crores. Several factors influence the initial solar investment. The key component
Romania is set for a significant expansion in the photovoltaic sector in 2025, driven by funding programs such as Casa Verde and RePower EU, the liberalization of energy
This is how many solar panels you can put on this roof: If you only use 100-watt solar panels, you can put 103 100-watt solar panels on the roof. If you only use 300-watt solar panels, you can put 34 100-watt solar panels on the roof. If you
Romania is located in an area with a good solar potential of 210 sunny days per year and with an annual solar energy flux between 1,000 kWh /m 2 /year and 1,300 kWh/m 2 /year.
Romania has allocated 1,488 MW of solar in its second contracts for difference (CfD) auction for renewables. Prices of the 26 winning solar bids ranged from €35.50 ($41.59)/MWh to €45.20/MWh.

As Romania’s solar electricity potential is one of the most favorable in the European Union, this study aims to provide a comprehensive economic assessment of the residential PV systems considering the solar potential particularities of various cities, a wide range of PV installation capacities and different annually electricity consumptions. 1.2.
Starting from 2016, there were 3.36 million residential dwellings in Romania that could be suitable for deployment of solar PV systems [30 ]. Although Romania has one of the largest potential residential PV capacity (5.9 GW) in the European Union, the rooftop PV accounts less than 1% of the total installed PV capacity (2.5 GW) [ 30 ].
The economic feasibility assessment revealed the significant potential for implementing grid-connected residential rooftop PV systems in Romania and also that the profitability of DGUs from the Northern part of the country is lower than in the Southern part.
Overall, the Romanian market offers a unique opportunity for both domestic and international investors, and this guide aims to provide a clear picture of the potential in this field. Romania boasts an ideal climate for solar energy, with an average of 1,600 kWh/m2 of solar irradiation annually.
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.
Therefore, for Romania to tap into its full solar potential, the market will require a stable and supportive framework that can foster innovation, investment, and competitiveness in the long term. This article is part of SolarPower Europe’s EU Market Outlook for Solar Power 2023-2027.
