Romania is considered to have some of the best wind conditions in Europe, with an estimated annual potential of 23TWh. Under Law 220/2010, energy producers will receive 2 GCs/MWh up to 2018 and 1 GC thereafter for a total of 15 years.

Despite an installed capacity of only 14MW at the end of 2009, the Romanian Wind Energy Association (AREE) aims to achieve a total 650MW by the end of the year, with potential to increase this to 5GW by 2020.
