Panel II – Romania – An Attractive Partner for Energy Security and Achieving Net Zero Goals

Romania stands as the second most energy-independent country in the EU, with a target to achieve full energy independence by 2030. With less than 12% of its energy sourced from fossil fuels, Romania benefits from a well balanced green energy mix, spanning hydro, wind and solar power.

  • Why is Romania so attractive for investments in renewable energy productions?

  • Financial incentives and state aid – grants of up to 60% of investment value to promote Greenfield projects
  • Romania’s approach to the energy crisis – as one of the EU’s least import-dependent countries and a leader in green energy production, Romania offers a safe investment harbor
  • Noteworthy British investments in Romanian renewable energy projects.
