According to the present version of PNIESC, adopted on October 2021, Romania proposes that the share of renewable energy until 2030 to get to 30.7% in the final gross consumption of energy until 2030 by using new wind units, photovoltaic and hydroenergy oens, as well as by increasing the number of prosumers.
