According to the company, corporate PPAs in the country are still nascent, with a scarcity of bankable, long-term contracts so far, but are rapidly evolving with a “significant growth potential”.
Interest in the Romanian market has been growing since last year, with developer Rezolv Energy’s CEO Alastair Hammond telling PV Tech in November 2024 that the PPA market was “very much up and running” in the region.

The increased interest in the Romanian market was demonstrated in the second round of the country’s Contract for Difference (CfD). Held in August, the auction awarded more than 1.4GW of solar PV capacity across 26 successful bids.
