The Romania renewable energy market size was USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 3.1% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising government’s policy to fulfil massive electricity demand and development of renewable source of energy in order to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Renewable energy is derived from natural resources to produce electric energy from kinetic energy on a regular basis. For instance, wind energy, bioenergy, and solar energy are major types of renewable energy. In wind-based energy, wind turbines are used to convert wind energy to mechanical energy, which is then transformed to electrical energy by a generator. Moreover, renewable energy is booming due to technical advancements that are dropping prices and delivering the potential of a clean energy future. It is feasible to develop greener alternatives to carbon-based energy sources and contribute to achieve world's sustainable development targets by 2030. Although there have been no big increases in both solar and wind projects since 2016, causing the growth of renewable energy to stagnant in 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a huge negative impact on Romania as the government enacted stringent nationwide lockdowns across the country to combat the spread of coronavirus. The majority of the industries were affected by the lockdowns; among them, the tourist and hospitality industry was affected the most. The demand for electricity in the industrial and commercial sectors has decreased dramatically as a result of the countrywide shutdowns. Reduced power consumption caused significant drop in income for the country's major electrical utilities and to alleviate their financial burden. As a result, organizations associated with utilities services have also resorted to mass layoffs to minimize the cost and stay survive.
