Romania''s 2024 solar additions hit 1.7 GW
The Romanian Photovoltaic Industry Association (RPIA) says Romania installed 1.7 GW of solar in 2024, as increased funding, higher renewable targets, and a streamlined permitting process...
As of the latest data available, there are over 880 large‐scale PV projects in Romania, boasting a cumulative capacity of approximately 46,600 MW. This impressive number showcases the country's commitment to harnessing solar energy as a clean and sustainable source of power.
Under the Romanian law, the following permits, approval, certificates, authorisations are required for the development and operation of a solar farm having more than 1 MW installed capacity. The first step in developing a solar plant project in Romania is to secure a title over the land.
Arad (5.40 GW) and Dolj (5.39 GW) are the most promising locations, but counties such as Giurgiu (4), Bihor (3.8), Teleorman (2.6), Timis (2.3) and Dambovita (2.3) also stand out in this respect. This geographical diversity highlights the potential for solar energy development across Romania.
The data shows that 2024 and 2025 might witness a surge in the completion of large‐scale photovoltaic (PV) projects in Romania, with over 400 projects expected to contribute significantly to the country's goals. Their total capacity is estimated at 30.5 GW. Obviously, this is the trickiest area in this report.
