Romania

Romania offshore wind overview.

Romania has no operating or awarded offshore-wind projects. Law 121/2024 created a competitive concession framework, but the latest official stage reviewed is the Ministry of Energy's study to identify and delimit suitable Black Sea areas before concession procedures are launched. Romania's objective is 3 GW by 2035.Europe19m people

Market Readiness

Market stage

Early-stage market where offshore wind activity is starting to form and the route to delivery is still emerging.

Consenting window

Typical offshore wind consenting timescale: 34-67 months.

Electricity system

Romania has a liberalised electricity market. The Ministry of Energy sets policy and organises offshore-wind concession procedures; Transelectrica operates the transmission system; OPCOM operates electricity markets; ANRE regulates, authorises establishment and licenses generation; and ACROO issues the offshore development approval under Law 121/2024.

Grid context

ANRE Order 92/2024 established dedicated procedures for connecting offshore-wind plants to Romania's transmission grid from 1 January 2025. Transelectrica must ensure connection under the regulation and Law 121/2024, while the future concession areas and efficient connection locations are to be coordinated with the transmission system operator.
