The power installed in photovoltaic parks in Romania will double, in 2024, and will exceed 4 GW, according to the estimates of a domestic start-up active in the energy field."Next year, Romania could have an installed power of 2,000 new MW from photovoltaic panels alone, almost as much as three nuclear reactors from (southeast) Cernavoda (single nuclear power plant so far, ed. n.).
