POWER
Romania is set to auction 3.5GW of renewable capacity in 2025 as part of a €3bn state aid scheme, aiming to accelerate wind and solar development under its recovery and resilience program, the Energy Ministry said, cited by Bloomberg.
- The exact split of wind and solar to be auctioned will be announced in the coming days, Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja said.
- “At this moment we're trying to prioritise wind,” Burduja added.
- Additionally, 2.5GW of power-production capacity may come online this year in Romania, which is expected to alleviate price pressures, according to the energy minister.
- The government intends to extend the cap on gas and power prices due to ongoing market uncertainties and the need for stable state support.
