European Energy is in working process to receive grid connection approvals for the remaining projects in the near future, which is an important step in project development, moving these initiatives closer to a ready-to-build stage.

What are Romania's large-scale solar projects?

There are several large-scale solar projects under development in Romania. CE Oltenia, a coal power supplier, plans to build eight PV plants with a combined capacity of 725 MW at several of its coal power facilities.

Will wind farms increase power supply in Romania?

Wind farms could contribute with 13 GW to the national power generation capacity by 2020. Between 2009 and 2017, total wind farm capacity will comprise 4,000 MW with investments of US$5.6 billion. Additionally, potential offshore wind farms may increase supply.

How does Romania support the production of solar / PV energy?

The Romanian State supports the production of solar / PV energy by offering six (6) green certificates for each MWh produced and injected into the grid.

Will Dama solar be Europe's biggest solar project?

Rezolv Energy and Monsson received all approvals from local authorities for the construction of Dama Solar. The photovoltaic facility in western Romania will likely become the biggest in Europe, at 1.04 GW in peak capacity and with batteries.
