Romania: Investing in wind energy – just an intention
EMonline
Due to the high wind power generation potential, could be installed turbines of total capacity of 14,000 MW but the regulatory authority has not received any request.
Romania has a high wind power generation potential, and it could install turbines of total capacity of 14,000 MW, close to the total installed power of all existing electricity producers combined, but the regulatory authority has not received any request to that end.
‘No one has come to us and ask for an establishment authorisation, although many companies claim to have the intention of investing in wind turbines. Many are conducting surveys, assessments, measurements’ Nicolae Opris, Vice-President of the National Regulatory Authority in the Sector of Energy (ANRE), told Mediafax news agency.
Although there is an immense interest in the sector among companies, at least judging by claims, and although projects amounting to several thousands of MW have been announced, in reality ‘the figure is smaller because several investors poll their resources to implement the same project and the various measurements and licencing take time’ said Opris.
Some of the companies that have indicated an intention of investing in wind turbines are Enel (Italy), Eviva Nalbant – subsidiary of the Portuguese Group Martifer, Electrica, the Czech CEZ Group, LP gas distributor Butan Gas, German Group E.ON, the Spanish company Detea and state-owned energy company Verbund Austria.
The Romanian regions with a high wind energy potential are the Black Sea Coast, the plateaus in Walachia and Dobrogea and high mountainous areas, according to the Romanian Energy Saving Agency (ARCE).(Nine o Clock)
