“In Romania, the private wind energy company Monsson Group began construction on its 150MW wind park worth $317 million (EUR245 million). This has nudged the east European country four places up the rankings to 10th place alongside Poland and Ireland,” E&Y said in its quarterly report on renewable energy attractiveness.

China remained the most attractive market for wind energy investments worldwide, followed by Germany, the USA and Britain, the report showed.

Romania scored 47 points in the all renewables index, keeping steady at 13th. The index includes all types of renewable energy, namely wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and other.

China is once again the world’s most attractive market for renewable energy projects, followed by Germany, the USA and India.
