I would advise you to analyse these opportunities, to come to Romania and develop projects here. Romania, during this period is in the second phase of development for the production projects for renewable energy’ Niculescu said.The ministry of energy is working at present on the legislation in the offshore wind sector, where Romania has a huge potential.‘We started this process at the end of last year. The draft law which has been in the parliament since 2019 cannot be used anymore, so we decided to work with the World Bank,as consultant, to have a stable and predictable legislative framework for investments in the offshore wind sector in the Black Sea. We have studies which show the potential is huge, as Dobrogea, known for its wind potential has drawn the biggest part of the wind projects in the first wave. So it is normal to continue and to want to be the first country which implements offshore wind projects in the Black Sea’ said the official.
