Romania: 2012, record year in renewable energy

A few years ago the Czechs from CEZ Company promise to invest 1.1 billion euros in Romania in building the largest wind farm in Europe. Although the construction was set to be ready in 2010, for various reasons, including obtaining timely approvals, the park was done at the end of 2012.

The farms is situated in Constanta, on a hill near the villages Fantanele and Cogealac and has a total capacity of 600 MW, bringing this company in the top energy producers in the country.

With this new investment, Romania has closed a recod year in renewable energy in 2012, the year when the largest wind farm and the largest photovoltaic farm in the country has been inaugurated.
