ENERGY FROM RENEWABLE SOURCES. AEOLIAN ENERGY IN ROMANIA

Journal Title: EcoTerra (Journal of Environmental Research and Protection) - Year 2009, Vol 20, Issue 20

Abstract

Energy production from renewable energy sources, wind energy in Romania. The energy produced by wind seems to take a particular prominent place in energy players' investment plans. Romania has a wind power potential of 14,000 MW whereas currently only 10 MW has been installed. This leaves investors with a vast playing field and, according to Invest Romania, the announced wind energy projects amount to a total capacity of 10,000 MW. Indeed, the European Union has set a binding target of 20 % of its energy supply to come from wind and other renewable sources by 2020. In order to achieve this 20 % energy target, more than one-third of the European electrical demand would have to come from renewals, with wind power expected to deliver 12-14 %. These developments are in line with the authorities’ ambition to increase both energy security renewable energies usage, the country aims to generate 11 % of the domestic gross energy consumption from renewable resources by 2010. By promoting renewable energy resources (RES) and the expansion of the nuclear energy plant, the Romanian authorities aim to be energy self-sufficient by 2014.
