A latecomer to the European PV party, Romania''s embrace of clean energy means it is perfectly placed to ride the wave of urgently ramped grid investment being rolled out by the European Union.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Romania is now considered one of the top ten solar markets in Europe, with a total installed solar photovoltaic capacity of 1,545 MW as of the end of 2023. One primary driver was the EU Modernization Fund.
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.
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.
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.
As of 2023, Romania’s power capacity is 18.4 GW with 8.4% coming from solar. The main factors behind the growing solar industry are the high irradiation, topography and land costs. Such is the excitement that the Romanian government has increased its photovoltaic energy target from the current status of 1,400 MW to 3,140 MW by 2030.
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.
