Over the past years, the installed renewable capacity has been growing at a faster pace than initially estimated, despite the government’s decision to cut back on its support for green energy producers.
At the end of 2013, the renewable capacity reached 4.350 MW, from 2,300 MW in the previous year. The authorities had estimated an increase of around 1,000 MW for last year.
By the end of 2015, the total installed capacity is expected to reach 6,850 MW.
Renewable energy producers operate 395 solar parks, 77 micro hydropower plants, 73 wind farms and 14 biomass plants in Romania.
The country’s total power capacity, including conventional energy, exceeds 20,000 MW.
