Romania’s Ministry of Energy has launched a call for expressions of interest in a study to identify suitable areas of the Romanian Black Sea for the development of offshore wind projects. The study is meant to support Romania’s goal of reaching an installed offshore wind capacity of at least 3 GW by 2035.
The study will analyse the wind potential in the Black Sea, the geotechnical characteristics of the marine environment, the environmental impact and biodiversity, and the possibilities of connection to the grid. Expressions of interest can be submitted until 10 June 2025.
In September 2024, the Government of Romania published a new roadmap to develop up to 7 GW of offshore wind capacity to be installed within Romania’s Exclusive Economic Zone in the Black Sea. The roadmap’s low growth scenario assumes 3 GW of offshore wind power is installed to supply 16% of Romania’s electricity needs by the end of 2035, while the high growth scenario assumes 7 GW of offshore wind power is installed to supply 37% of Romania’s electricity needs.
