The Sustainable Renewable Energy Association (APERS) reports that there is currently 3.4 GW of installed wind power and 1.5 GW of photovoltaic solar power in Romania. The Romanian government aims to reach 7 GW of wind and 6 GW of solar energy by 2030, as part of the Energy and Climate Plan. This means that 450 MW of wind and 560 MW of photovoltaic solar power need to be installed annually through the end of the decade.
