Although the national energy system can only integrate 3,000 MW, authorities have greenlighted the connection of more than 7,000 MW to the system. This is happening because current legislation does not set a limit to installed wind farm capacity.
Should authorities agree the limitations proposed by Transelectrica, wind farms could be integrated into the power grid depending on their stage of construction.
“We will wind up installing wind power that distorts the system, and we will need to set limits to wind farms. Investors need to consider this risk as well,” Cernat said.
