Romania Market Overview

    Romania is a new entrant in renewable energy sector, with large scale projects (wind) starting to be commissioned since 2009/2010. The EU Directive  2009/28/CE from 23rd of April 2009, setting the mandatory quotas of renewable energy in the final consumption of each member state has been transposed into the Romanian legislation, through the Law 220/2008, subsequently improved by the amended Law 139/2010 and Emergency Ordinance 88/2011. In the meantime ANRE elaborate also the methodologies regarding functioning of green energy market.
    Because of his placement, Romania is situated in the European B sunlight, which gives the country a major solar potential waiting to be tapped. With 210 sunny days a year, Romania is eligible for annual energy flow between 1000 and 1300 located kWh / sqm / year.
Radiation level in Romania is very good compared to other countries with temperate climate, anddifferences, depending on geographical area, are very small. Solar radiation in Romania reaches maximum values ​​in June, 1.49 kWh / msq/zday, lows were recorded in February, 0.34 kWh /msq/day, wrote Green Report.
       Romania is divided into three main areas of sunlight: the red, about 1650 kWh / sqm / year,corresponding to Oltenia, Wallachia, Moldavia and southern Dobrogea, yellow zone, 1300-1450kWh / sqm / year, including Carpathian and Carpathian regions of Wallachia , all of Transylvania,the middle and northern Moldova, Banat, and the blue, 1150-1300 kWh / sqm / year, mountainregions.
Despite the existing potential, solar energy is not fully exploited in 2010 being installed only 2MW.

Country Attractiveness Indices for Romania issued by Ernst & Young

According to Country Attractiveness Indices issued by Ernst & Young, Romania ranked on 13th position.
Ernst & Young index is analyzed quaterly for the 40 most attractive countries in the world of renewable energy, infrastructure and compatibility with individual technologies.
This jump in the index computed by  Ernst & Young, reflects the new massive investment in renewable energy already attracted by Romania.
If in 2009, Romania was producing only 12 MW of renewable energy, the production capacity has increased dramatically in 2010 to 464 MW, and in September current year it was recorded a leap of 34% to 623 MW.

PROMOTION SYSTEM FOR THE PRODUCTION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY IN ROMANIA

To promote the production of RES-Electricity, Law 220/2008, as amended and supplemented
by Law 139/2010 and subsequently republishedprovides for a quota obligation system (i.e.,
the obligation of the supplier to acquire and hold a specified number of GCs) coupled with
tradable GCs or a “fixed price” system. The system which will be implemented for the
stimulation of RES-Electricity and the procedural details related thereto should have been
detailed in a government decision to be issued within 90 days from the date of enactment of
Law 220/2008. This time period lapsed on the 4th of February 2009, without the relevant
government decision having been issued. However, according to the draft of the government
decision, which is currently under public debate, the principal characteristics of the present
RES-Electricity stimulation procedure will be maintained (i.e. the quota obligation system
coupled with the GC).
Currently, a combined system of quota obligation and tradable GC is applied based on GD
1479/2009, which has not been repealed by the enactment of Law 220/2008.
Under Law 139/2010, the definitions have been harmonized and completed in order to be
consistent with those provided by Directive 2009/28/CE such as:

Project to suspend the number of Green Certificates

 The Ministry of Energy annonced that have the intention to propose an project where to suspend the number of green certificates for an period of 3 years and half till 1st January 2017.

 Art. 6, after paragraph 2 will be introduced 2 new paragraphs:
    2.1 Between 01/07/2013 and 31/12/2016 will be posponed temporary the grant of Green Certificates as is written at paragraph (2) for each 1 MWh produced and delivered by green energy producers from renewable energy, as follows:
  a) 1 GC for new hydrocentrales with an power installed no more than 10 MW;
  b) 1 GC for wind farms;
  c) 2 GC for solar parks.

 2.2 Recovery of GC posptponed according to paragraph 2.1 will be due it starting with 01/01/2017 for power plants written at letters a) and c), and starting from 01/01/2018 for power plants written at letter b).

 The gradually steps way of postponed GC recovery according to paragraph 2.1 will be establisshed by ANRE through secondary legislation.
