Law no. 220/2008 interposed energy quota obligation and green certificate systems for electricity generated from renewable energy sources. Main objective of the law is to stimulate investments and electricity production from REs.

Implementation of law 220/2008 is a part of framework creation that ultimately will support Romania in reaching its EU 2020 targets and in sustainable renewables deployment along with other “green” national targets.

Mandatory annual quotas for electricity generated from renewable energy sources have been set. Annual shares of E-RES in Romania for period of 2010-2020 are as follow:

Quota levels

2010

2011

2012

2013

2014

2015

2016

2017

2018

2019

2020

8.3%

10%

12%

14%

15%

16%

17%

18%

19%

19.5%

20%

Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) is an organization responsible for selecting which electricity companies will be participating in the quota system.

Selected electricity suppliers and producers are bound to fulfil their yearly E-RES quota by presenting appropriate amount of Green Certificates ANRE by 15 th of April each year. If they will fail to meet their quota obligations they will be obliged to purchase missing GCs at higher price of EUR 110 each.

Under no. 220/2008 units of electricity generated by renewable plants will be granted with Green Certificates by ANRE. Numbers of GCs allocated to one unit of E-RES differ depending on the technology and capacity of the plant:

Technology

Number of certificates granted

New hydro-electric plant

3 per MWh

Modernised hydro-electric plants

2 per MWh

Other hydro-electric plants

1 per 2 MWh

Wind plants: connected to the grid until 2017

2 per 2 MWh

Wind plants: connected to the grid from 2018

1 per MWh

Geothermal

2 per MWh

Biogas

Biomass

Liquid biofuels for energy generation

Gas produced from anaerobic digestion of waste and sewage sludge

1 per MWh

Solar

6 certificates per MWh

Certificates can be tradable on the market orgenized and managed by Electricity Market Operator – OPCOM SA. Maximum and minimum prices have been determined in order to protect interests of electricity producers and end users respectively.

Maximum price per 1 GC is EUR 55. A minimum price per 1 GS is EUR 27.

Not Even Musk Has The Answer To AI’s Power Shortage

The White House issued a stark warning in July 2025: Without $1.4 trillion in new infrastructure investment, electricity prices could surge as much as 58% by 2030. That’s driven mostly by the insatiable power demand from the rise of AI data centers and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. According to Axios, new reports show that power demand is set to grow up to 10x between now and 2030. The grid we’ve relied on for decades simply can't keep pace, and that’s threatening to put a major strain on both the AI and Bitcoin booms that have…

The Next Oil Rally Could Be Driven by Stockpile Buying

The war in the Middle East has cost the world over a billion barrels in cumulative supply losses. Yet luckily, China had built a reserve of about the same size before the closure of Hormuz, so it stopped buying so much oil, arresting the inevitable price jump. Now, everyone wants to build an oil reserve—or needs to replenish the ones they already have. Back in March, soon after the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran began, prompting the latter to retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz, the International Energy Agency said it would release…

Ukraine's Refinery Strikes Push Russia Into a Fuel Crisis

After weeks of trying to downplay the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, the Kremlin acknowledged this weekend that Russia faces fuel shortages and a fuel crisis that needs further government intervention to solve. A few weeks ago, regional governors across Russia rushed to downplay the fuel crisis, seeking to assure residents that supply is tight only at limited gas stations and there is no need to panic about shortages. Apparently, this narrative couldn’t be contained for too long as Ukraine is stepping up attacks…

How the Hormuz Crisis Turned Southeast Asia Into a Solar Powerhouse

The United States and Iran have stepped back from the brink of all-out war, but the ceasefire that followed nearly four months of fighting is still being tested by flare-ups around the Strait of Hormuz. One outcome of the crisis, though, is already clear: the clean energy transition is speeding up, and shows no sign of slowing. The war is just the latest in a string of conflicts to send shockwaves through oil and gas markets in recent years, leaving global leaders increasingly wary of dependence on fossil fuel imports and underscoring the energy…

China's Coal Habit Is Outpacing Its Clean Energy Boom

A recent social media post from a meteorologist with a large following made a claim that deserves a closer look. The post argued that it is a myth that China is responsible for rapidly rising carbon dioxide emissions, and it has been shared hundreds of times. The following graphic attached to the post, from Our World in Data, showed annual carbon dioxide emissions by world region. It also showed something that undercut the claim: China’s emissions have surged this century and now represent the largest single-country contribution to annual…
