ANRE estimates that only 10-15 % of RES projects reach completion

Chairman of the National Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) Claudiu Dumbraveanu said that, of the total number of renewable energy projects that have obtained the network connection approval, only 10-15 % will be realized.

According to Dumbraveanu, at the moment, 878 connection approvals have been issued for wind and solar projects. However, the number of projects with connection approval that also have signed network connection contracts concluded within the deadline stipulated by the legislation is much smaller - 365.?Finally, the number of projects with the authorization for the establishment of energy capacities issued by ANRE is only 77, with a total installed capacity of 1,445 MW.?

Thus, projects with a combined capacity of only 611 MW will be put into operation nationwide this year.

However, there will be a peak next year, with capacities amounting to 1,881 MW being put in operation.?In Romania, 3,026 MW in wind and 1,638 MW in solar are currently in operation, excluding prosumers.
