The main purpose of this study is to highlight the continuing need of policies for subsidizing through Green Certificates, the production of electricity from renewable sources in Romania and especially wind energy. Amending legislation in 2013 by diminishing the support for the RES producers led to a significant reduction in investment in this area and eventually will cause an end. Romania met the planned capacity for 2014 with 2967 MW installed above 2880 MW planned. However, reducing the number of GC can affect the deployment of future projects in order to meet the 4000 MW expected by 2020.

The European Union has set a unique path in terms of developing renewable energies by 2020, but each country has different potentials depending on geographical location, landscape, climatic influences and local policies. Romania׳s wind potential is considered to be the highest in Southeast Europe with Dobrogea region being the second highest wind potential area on the continent.

RES Romanian producers benefited Green Certificates (GC) scheme upon accreditation by the National Regulatory Authority for Energy (ANRE). Green Certificates can be redeemed only in Romania within the national agreed quota. Owing to the 2010 legislative measures, installed capacity of wind power increased from 7 MW in 2009 to 976 MW peak in 2012, by 2015 reaching a total installed power of 2990 MW.

Promotion of electricity from renewable sources over 2010–2013, through the national subsidy policy has led to a significant drop in greenhouse-gas emissions from the production of electricity from 438 g/kWh in 2011 to 326 g/kWh in 2015.
