With a capacity of 679 MW for a value of over 543 million euros, Galati is the hottest county in Romania according to the wind projects approved in the period 2021-2022, thus outclassing Constanta in terms of interest. Moldova, the poorest region of Romania, is becoming the new El Dorado for investors in the second wave of green investments.
From the information available on the Transelectrica site, it appears that wind projects with a capacity of over 2,700 MW have been approved only in the period 2021-2022 and, if they enter into operation, most of them will have a completion date of 2025-2026, will require investments of almost 2.2 billion euros. The interest in green energy projects is unprecedented and makes Moldova the new money destination for wind turbines, after Constanta concentrated most of its investments in the first wave.
After the province of Galati, Constanta is in second place in terms of interest, which is normal in a context in which the area is almost closed in terms of capacity. Buzau, Tulcea and Iasi are the runners-up, thus shaping Moldova as the new El Dorado for wind projects in the second wave of investments.
