According to Bogdan Ivan, Minister of Energy, the extension will give investors more time to finalise mature proposals aimed at boosting Romania’s green power generation, strengthening energy independence, cutting industrial electricity costs, and enhancing competitiveness.
The scheme makes more than €310 million available across key technologies:
Maximum state support per installed MW is set at €700,000 for wind, €450,000 for small-scale solar, €360,000 for large-scale solar, and €1.8m for hydropower.
Eligible applicants include SMEs, large companies, newly established firms, and autonomous public authorities registered in Romania. Funding may cover a wide range of activities, from land development and construction to equipment procurement and site organisation.
The ministry recently completed its review of the country’s second Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction under the State Aid Scheme, part of Romania’s broader strategy to accelerate renewable deployment.
The European Union’s renewable energy transition reached a historic milestone in 2025, driven by an unprecedented expansion of solar power and a massive spike in electric vehicle (EV) adoption. According to the latest quarterly market reports, the bloc is successfully stabilizing its energy markets while rapidly accelerating its green infrastructure.
A joint geothermal initiative in Vienna’s Aspern district has surpassed initial performance projections, paving the way for a massive expansion of sustainable district heating in the Austrian capital. Spearheaded by local utility Wien Energie and energy firm OMV, recent test drilling indicates the city's underground resources are hotter and more abundant than previously thought.
French energy group ENGIE has announced the development of its first hybrid energy project in Europe, co-locating wind energy generation with battery energy storage systems (BESS). The facility is being built in Băleni, Galați County, located in southeastern Romania.
The storage asset is being installed directly within ENGIE’s operational 50 MW Băleni wind farm, which has been active since 2013. The grid-connected battery will feature a power capacity of 5 MW and a storage capacity of 10 MWh, allowing it to deliver maximum electricity output to the grid for a continuous two-hour window. The unit is scheduled to be fully commissioned by the end of this year.
