Recently, the head of the European Wind Energy Association said at the annual meeting of the Romanian Wind Energy Association in Bucharest that Romania should use onshore wind power to meet the growing demand for electricity rather than invest in traditional electricity.

Romania should abandon traditional electricity and vigorously develop wind power.

As early as last year, wind power accounted for 12.2% of Romania's electricity. By 2030, the proportion of electricity and other renewable sources of energy in Romania could rise to 35% through a more flexible grid and connectors in neighbouring countries. This potential should be reflected in the draft national energy and climate plans of Romania and all EU countries, which must be submitted to the European Commission by the end of 2018.

The International Renewable Energy Agency has highlighted the great potential of wind energy in Southeast Europe. However, because regulatory uncertainties have pushed up capital costs, this potential has not yet been realized in Romania and the wider region, and the European Wind Energy Association has pointed out that Romania should be ambitious about renewable energy in the region when it takes over the rotating presidency of the European Union.

He added that onshore wind power is now Romania's cheapest new form of electricity, and many parts of Europe have said that as Romania's electricity demand is expected to rise, the country urgently needs to invest in new power generation capacity. With more flexible grids and connectors between Romania's neighbours, wind and other renewable energy could cover 35% of Romania's electricity by 2030.

According to the report of the International Renewable Energy Agency, the potential of wind power in Southeast Europe is 532 gigawatts. "Despite the green growth in Serbia, Croatia, Ukraine and Greece, it has not been fully utilized," he said.

He added that the Bulgarian government recently passed a law allowing enterprises to sign electricity purchase agreements. However, he pointed out that the cost of wind farms in Romania and the region was higher than in Northwest Europe - because recent regulatory uncertainties meant that investors demanded higher capital costs.

In order to solve this problem, we urge the governments of the region to clarify their renewable energy plans and legislation in the 2030 National Energy and Climate Plan, emphasizing that the national plan should cover the integration of regional energy markets, the development of joint renewable energy projects and long-term decarbonization and electricity. The strategy of transformation. Investment, economies of scale and cost reductions occur only when the industry is stabilized and regulated.
