Romania reached a new milestone in renewable energy. On July 9th, the country set a record for instantaneous electricity production from dispatchable photovoltaic sources, hitting 1,250 MW, according to Transelectrica. This was second only to the nuclear power plant’s 1,294 MW.
This achievement highlights the increasing role of solar power in Romania’s energy landscape. With an installed photovoltaic capacity of 1,642 MW and additional capacity from newly completed parks, the country is making significant progress in green energy.
Transelectrica’s figures do not include energy produced by non-dispatchable prosumers, who now have an installed power of 1,700 MW, surpassing that of photovoltaic parks.
Solar Power Europe said Romania’s photovoltaic capacity was significantly boosted by over 1 GW last year. With a promising trajectory, Romania is poised to be among the top 20 fastest-growing solar markets globally, a testament to the country’s bright renewable energy future.
From 2024-2028, Romania’s newly installed photovoltaic capacity could range from 9,000 MW in a negative scenario to approximately 19,000 MW in an optimistic scenario.
