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.
Reviewing photovoltaic energy development in Romania, from 2011 onward. In Romania PV electricity production is less than 4%, after hydro and wind (35.7%). 1122 PV investments, from a few Watts, the smallest, to 82 MW, the largest. Largest solar park covers 200 ha, commissioned 2013, placed in Ucea de Sus.
Overview of solar PV developments Following a period of lull, Romania has achieved in 2023 a significant milestone in its renewable energy journey – over 1 GW of new solar capacity installed in one year between distributed generation and utility scale projects.
In the context of the European ambitions, Romania would need to aim for 44.4% RES, meaning 11.1 GW of solar - 6.1 GW for utility-scale and 5 GW for rooftop PV1. Drivers for solar growth The last two years have been marked by significant legislative changes that underpinned the development of the Romanian PV sector.
Romania has set an ambitious target to install over 8 Gigawatts of solar energy capacity by 2030, which is anticipated to constitute 24% of its gross final electricity consumption from renewable sources.
It has an installed capacity of 82 MW and uses 320,000 PV units. In Romania, the domains of renewables, the environment, and sustainable energy have great potential and offer substantial business opportunities. Photovoltaic energy can contribute toward a sustainable development, economically, environmentally and socially.

Romania was a major player in the solar power industry, installing in the 1970s and 1980s around 800,000 m (8,600,000 sq ft) of low quality solar collectors that placed the country third worldwide in the total surface area of PV cells. 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 year.
