Romania exports and imports electricity to and from neighboring countries, including Hungary, Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine, and Moldova, and is also part of the European Union's internal energy market, which aims to create a single, competitive market for electricity and gas across EU member states.
When looking into the European solar module value chain, the largest manufacturer remains the only one active in the solar silicon segment. Wacker Chemie is the sole EU company to operate polysilicon production facilities with a capacity of around 60,000 metric tons in Germany, which translates into over 26 GW of cell/module products.
Romania is undergoing a significant expansion in solar power within its broader energy transition framework, bolstered by European funding and legal reforms.
Large PV projects planned on agricultural lands exceeding 50 hectares still face obstacles from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) to secure permitting, among others. If not lifted, our high growth expectations, leading to a quadrupling of Romania's total PV capacity to 8.7 GW within four years, are at risk.
Recycling of panels is key to creating a resilient and sustainable value chain, particularly as the process can recover key raw materials in manufacturing processes.
