“Works for around 500 MW are now underway nationwide and around 150-200 MW will be connected by yearend,” say market players. The investments will be in the solar power field given the shorter development span of these projects.
Mihai Balan, an executive manager at RPIA (Romanian Photovoltaic Industry Association), an entity representing the solar energy industry in Romania, says legislative changes are not hurting investors’ confidence for the time being, but most investors are highly cautious, though.
However, the network, the infrastructure these new projects should connect to, is still a weakness.
Compared with the first wave of green power projects, now the size of investment is very large.
