Also, wind capacities of 893 MW and photovoltaic capacities of 449 MW are expected to be put into operation in 2026, and in 2028 wind capacities of 279 MW.

At the end of last year, the total capacity of renewable energy installed in the electric power system in Romania was 11,650 MW, of which 6,642 MW was hydropower, 1,426 MW was photovoltaic, and 3,027 wind.
