About us

RWEA (Romania Wind Energy Association) is a non-profit organization, it was launched in 2008within the Romanian wind energy industry. RWEA is actively involved in the national and international policy and the dialogue on regulations, communication, research and analysis regarding the extension of renewable energy sources, being the voice of energy transition and the wind energy industry in Romania. At present, it benefits from the support of around 50 members. The market leaders, electric power providers, turbine manufacturers, developers, service providers, training centres, contractors, legal, financial and consulting companies which are part of RWEA represent 2700 MW of Romania’s 3000 MW installed wind power. RWEA offers various services to support the requirements and needs of its members regarding their development, offering the best networking and learning opportunities in the sector, in order to create an adequate legal framework within which members can successfully develop their businesses. The organisation cooperates with national and international organisations, research initiatives and think-tanks to create synergies that constantly update and enhance the policy and regulatory framework required for the uptake of new renewable technologies and the successful development of the member’s businesses. RWEA produces a large variety of information tools and manages campaigns aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of wind energy and enhancing social acceptance, dispelling myths about wind energy and providing easy access to credible information. Moreover, events are a major part of the activities of the association. The conferences, field trips and workshops are meant to encourage the national and international exchange of policies, financial matters and technical developments. RWEA actively promotes projects that prepare a structural and technological transition, ensuring a fair social development of coal-dependent areas, the main ambition being to pave the way for a sustainable transformation of the Romanian energy system.

EU WIND

Wind energy plays an increasingly important role in the European energy system. Currently, it covers approximately 20% of the EU’s electricity consumption and supports the transition to a more autonomous and sustainable energy system.

With over 400,000 jobs and a contribution of €52 billion to the European GDP, the wind sector supports the local economy, especially in rural and coastal areas, and aids the transition of large industries toward cleaner energy sources.

At the same time, wind energy is one of the most affordable and stable sources of electricity in Europe, essential for strengthening economic competitiveness.

This section offers a European perspective on the impact and potential of wind energy, through updated content and analyses conducted by WindEurope.
