generation came from photovoltaics. The maxi mum share of solar energy in the total dail y energy of all electricity sources was 32% on May 21. From March to September 2020, the monthly power generation of PV systems wa s higher than that of coal-fired power plants. Wind energy produced around 132 TWh in 2020, which is about 4,6% mor e than in
The value for the share of energy from renewable energy sources (RES‑E) in gross final energy consumption achieved for 2022 was 23.9%, slightly below the target value for Romania for 2020 of 24%, according to official European data published by Eurostat: EU renewable energy policies have helped reduce the cost of photovoltaics by 82% over
In a big boost to accelerate global adoption of solar energy, Romania officially joined the International Solar Alliance (ISA) as its 118th member country, signalling a robust commitment to advancing solar energy and contributing to global climate action.
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. For solar, this translates into an objective of 5.05 GW, which
In 2022, Romania was selected as 1 of the 10 EU countries that needed the greatest support to modernise their energy systems and improve energy efficiency. This meant Romania was allocated €1.4 billion of the €4.11 billion to also build eight solar parks and two electric power plants.
to incentives, Romania introduced the Casa Verde Fotovoltaice project in 2019 to cover up to 90% of capital expenses of solar systems for residential segments with a minimum capacity of 3 kW. As of 2023, the financing scheme covered up to 4000 euros of an investment in a PV system of minimum 3kW, but

The vast solar energy resource of the country can be harnessed for the production of electricity through solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This paper presents an assessment of the PV electricity
The raw data are retrieved by Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE scientists from numerous sources on an hourly or daily basis solar and wind. Photovoltaic systems generated approx. 59.9 TWh of electricity in 2023. Of this, approx. 53.5 TWh was fed into the public grid and 6.4 TWh was consumed. The maximum share of solar
Romania has set an ambitious target to install over 8 Gigawatts of solar energy capacity by 2030, which is anticipated to constitute 24% of its gross final electricity consumption from renewable sources.
Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE have succeeded in producing a perovskite silicon tandem solar cell with 31.6 percent efficiency. The new 1 cm² solar cell is special in that the perovskite
The study compares the present costs for conversion of different energy forms into electricity and gives a prognosis for the further cost development up to 2035. The scientists in Freiburg analyze both the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) from renewables as

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.
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.
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.
Romania has set an ambitious target to install over 8 Gigawatts of solar energy capacity by 2030, which is anticipated to constitute 24% of its gross final electricity consumption from renewable sources.
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.
