    9 key points

    • At the beginning of 2026, the analyzed database includes 1,124 utility-scale PV projects, with a total capacity of approximately 58.4 GW, an increase of about 12 GW compared to the 2024 edition.
    • The project portfolio is highly unbalanced: approximately 66% of capacity is still in the early stages (1–2), and only about 4.2% is in the advanced stages (8–10).
    • Very large projects dominate in terms of volume: just 59 projects over 200 MW account for almost one-third of all planned PV capacity.
    • However, no project over 200 MW is in stages 8–10, which shows that mega solar parks are still promises, not realities ready for immediate delivery.
    • The stated commissioning horizon is 2025–2027, but these dates should be read as intentions, not firm commitments.
    • Development is geographically concentrated: Dolj, Arad, Bihor, Timiș, and Giurgiu account for approximately 40% of all PV capacity in the base.
    • Arad, Timiș, Dolj, Bihor, and Giurgiu are also the key counties for mega-projects, which means that they are the main hubs for grid access, contracting, and execution.
    • Compared to wind and storage, PV is the technology with the highest density of opportunities and the most advanced maturity profile in the pipeline, making it the most “actionable” for investment and contracting in the near term.
    • The PV market in Romania is facing the problem of conversion — transforming the large volume of announced projects into effectively financeable, connectable, and buildable capacities.

    For investors in the renewable energy sector who have no experience operating in Romania, one of the key unknowns is related to balancing activity and the costs of balancing intermittent energy production. Balancing costs can vary considerably depending on the markets in which the producer participates, its behavior, or how it trades on energy markets, but also on the forecasts used by renewable energy producers.
