Romania targets wind energy sector expansion by organizing a new Competitive Bid for Financial Support auction
Romania Aims for More Renewable Energy with Upcoming CfD Auction
Romania's renewable energy sector is gearing up for another round of competition as the Ministry of Energy has invited investors to propose more wind farm projects for another auction under the Contract for Difference (CfD) scheme.
Following the success of the second CfD auction, which was completed in August 2025 and awarded 2.75 GW of CfD-backed capacity, surpassing the national target of 3.5 GW set under Romania's Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the country is now aiming to fill the remaining capacity of 738 MW from the previous 2 GW target.
The largest project that qualified in the second CfD auction had a capacity of 211 MW, while the lowest price asked by investors was EUR 65.17 per /MWh. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) announced its support for Romania in delivering the second successful renewable energy auction under the CfD scheme.
Projects with sufficient maturity but not able to attend the previous auction due to the tight deadline are now invited to participate. However, the specific details about the upcoming auction, such as the exact date, will be announced later.
The success of the upcoming auction will depend on the level of interest and participation from potential investors. The authorities have set a maximum exercise price of EUR 80 per MW in the previous auction, and this price guarantees an investment return for 15 years for the winners of the upcoming auction.
It's worth noting that the names of the investors who participated in the last auction with wind power projects and demanded the lowest price of EUR 65.17 per MWh are not explicitly provided in the available search results.
Romania's combined total from the first and second CfD auctions is now 4.2 GW. The Ministry of Energy will determine the capacity to be auctioned in the upcoming round based on the expressions of interest received.
As Romania continues to prioritise renewable energy, the upcoming CfD auction offers a significant opportunity for investors to contribute to the country's clean energy transition and secure a competitive return on their investments.
