Romania has passed new wind regulation legislation, increasing mandatory quotas for electricity from renewables, extending the deadline for collecting two green certificates to 2017 (previously 2015), and reaffirming the current green certificate floor and ceiling prices per MWh of electrical energy (EUR 27/MWh and EUR 55/MWh).

A few major companies are involved in renewable energy development in Romania, such as EDP Renovaveis, which is developing a total of 228 MW of wind capacity, with another 613 MW of projects in different stages of development.

Most of the country's wind energy potential is located near Romania's shores at the Black Sea.
