Under EU Directive 2009/28/EC all EU countries were obliged to draft and submit detailed roadmaps of how they are planning to reach their EU 2020 targets. In 2010 Romania structured and submitted to the EU its National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP)in which it outlines how increase of REs, energy efficiency and cuts in greenhouse gases emissions will be reached by 2020.
Plan outlines targets for electricity generation from renewable sources for Romania to reach levels of 33% in 2010, 35% in 2015 and 38% in 2020.
The overall legislative target is 24% of RES in gross final energy consumption. IEA/IRENA Global Renewable Energy Policies and Measures Database © OECD/IEA and IRENA, [November 2020]
