Eurowind Energy Romania, one of the leading renewable energy project developers active on the local market since 2011, confirms the development of a major wind energy project in Botoșani County. The initiative, currently in an early planning phase, aims to reach an installed capacity of approximately 1,200 MW, positioning Romania as a potential major exporter of renewable energy in the region.

Eurowind Energy Romania has already completed a series of essential preliminary steps, including securing land use rights, submitting the application for connection to the electricity grid and obtaining the initial urban planning certificate. The project involves the phased construction of nine wind farms located in Botoșani County, with a completion schedule extending until around 2031.

The next essential step is to initiate dialogue with local communities, authorities and stakeholders. These discussions will contribute to defining the project timeline, final design and technology selection.

“We are engaged in a transparent and collaborative process with all relevant parties. Even though the project is still in the preliminary stages, its potential impact is significant. With a total estimated investment of over one billion euros, this wind complex could not only strengthen Romania’s renewable energy capacity, but also allow the country to become a major energy exporter in the region,” said Adrian Dobre, Country Manager Eurowind Energy Romania.

The immediate priority of the Eurowind Energy Romania team remains the completion of two renewable energy projects scheduled to become operational this year: the Teiuș photovoltaic park (60.2 MW) in Alba County and the Pecineaga wind farm (48 MW) in Constanța County. In the past, Eurowind Energy has successfully developed three other renewable energy projects in Romania: the photovoltaic parks in Pufești (Vrancea County, operational since 2012), Halchiu (Brașov County, operational since 2013) and Mihăilești (Ilfov County, operational since 2013).
