Solar power in Romania
One of the most important solar projects was the installation of a 30 kW solar panel on the roof of the Politehnica University of Bucharest that is capable of producing 60 MWh of electricity per
National targets for solar PV With an average of 1,900 to 2,400 annual sunlight hours, Romania has significant natural potential for solar PV development. Yet, the country has not set ambitious targets for renewable energy sources, aiming for only 30.7% of its final energy consumption to come from RES by 2030.
Another Romanian city, Alba Iulia, installed a total of 1,700 PV cells on several public buildings that have a rated power of 257 kW. Other cities include Giurgiu with 174 solar panels and 391.5 kW installed capacity and Saturn with 50 panels and 112 kW installed capacity.
Arad (5.40 GW) and Dolj (5.39 GW) are the most promising locations, but counties such as Giurgiu (4), Bihor (3.8), Teleorman (2.6), Timis (2.3) and Dambovita (2.3) also stand out in this respect. This geographical diversity highlights the potential for solar energy development across Romania.
As of the latest data available, there are over 880 large‐scale PV projects in Romania, boasting a cumulative capacity of approximately 46,600 MW. This impressive number showcases the country's commitment to harnessing solar energy as a clean and sustainable source of power.
