RENEWABLES AND THE ROMANIAN ENERGY SYSTEM
Abstract
The main objective of the present work is to provide a more comprehensive picture of the Romanian energy system, a special attention being given to the emerging renewable sources. As a first step, different indexes will be considered to highlight the structure of the electricity portfolios, from which the authors mention electricity access and consumption and the dioxide emissions. The obtained results will be discussed at both regional and European levels, by taking also into account the share of electricity coming from renewable sources. If one discusses about renewables, it is important to mention that most of the Romanian projects are located onshore, but since there is access to the Black Sea, the benefits coming from a marine project need also to be discussed. Finally, the authors conclude that the Romanian energy market is defined by various opportunities and challenges and, using the renewable sources, it will be possible to build a sustainable energy industry.
