Driven by EU funding, simplified permitting, and the launch of Romania's first Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme, solar is becoming a central pillar of the national energy mix— occasionally overtaking conventional sources in daily production. By the end of this decade, Romania aims to reach 10 GW of solar and 4 GW of storage.
With the scheduled removal of the energy price cap on April 1, more Romanians are turning to solar energy to reduce expenses and secure their energy supply. Rising electricity tariffs have further accelerated interest in renewable solutions, particularly in the residential sector, where solar panels are becoming a smart long-term investment.
Some of the most notable schemes include: Feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme: Under this scheme, renewable energy producers in Romania, including solar energy producers, are guaranteed a fixed price for their electricity for 15 years. The FIT rates for solar energy are revised every year, and they depend on the type and size of the solar project.
Romania has implemented several government-based incentive schemes to encourage the development of solar energy. Some of the most notable schemes include: Feed-in-tariff (FIT) scheme: Under this scheme, renewable energy producers in Romania, including solar energy producers, are guaranteed a fixed price for their electricity for 15 years.
