Romania has started investing again in renewable electricity generation, thanks to 457 million euros in funding from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP).
“It has been a year that has been challenging and complicated in many ways, but a year that together we have managed to overcome well. It is a good thing that after a while, investments in power generation are coming back and we are glad that we, at the Ministry of Energy, can finance these investments”, said George Niculescu, Secretary of State in the Ministry of Energy, at the Gala where the energy industry celebrated the winners of the 10th Energynomics Awards.
He referred to the fact that in May, the ministry ran a program to attract such projects. These projects are currently being evaluated by the ministry.
Niculescu added that with the start of gas exports to the Republic of Moldova, Romania has become an exporter of energy security, thanks to the fact that the beginning of winter caught Romania with unprecedentedly full gas deposits and the start of offshore production by BSOG in June.
“We entered this winter with an unprecedented level of gas in storage, which gives us confidence in what the security of supply story is all about. We are monitoring gas and electricity imports and exports on a daily basis, together with the other institutions, and keeping things under control,” the Secretary of State added.
