"It's very difficult to evacuate electrical power that wind turbines could produce. Should be massive investment in electricity transmission infrastructure, "said Gabriel, PhD Negreanu, Bucharest Polytechnic University representative at the International Conference of Thermal Equipment, held on the coast.
He explained that already is reached the maximum power that can be taken in Dobrogea by the National Power System. "Experts say that the total would be about 3,000 megawatts that the system could run. At the moment we have over 3,000 megawatts of wind energy and photovoltaics, "said Gabriel, PhD Negreanu.
The situation is even more serious in the near future it sees no solution to the problems and the Cernavoda nuclear plant further complicate things.
"We have too much electricity. What about it? "
One could solve the Dobrogea wind turbines, but for now we can only talk about a project on paper. "We need a submarine cable.
They need energy, we can export it. If the wind blows and the two reactors are working, we have too much power and nothing to do with it. You can not stop a nuclear plant just a few minutes to stop and let her go. We seek investors for Units 3 and 4. Are we sure we want this? "Said Ion Dănuţ Juganaru, general manager of Constanta Chamber of Commerce."
In fact, every winter from 2011 onwards, the wind farms are forced to periodically stop the turbines, according to a protocol Transelectrica, whenever so required by production becomes too high.
And as in the days of blizzard, wind turbines production exceeds 1,400 megawatts, which is exactly the amount of energy that comes from the nominal two nuclear reactors, the system faces a serious problem.
Transelectrica state company says it has no money for modernization of coastal and submarine cable project to Turkey, as mentioned above, only the stage of drawing. The surplus energy seems unsolvable.
Two fouls red
Although no government official will not recognize nohow, the state attempted to thwart as many investors in renewable energy. First payment was delayed for half subsidy for renewable energy through green certificates scheme, then post tax income.
Czech CEZ, GDF SUEZ Enel Italy and France are expected to pay annually to 15 million each for special construction tax. Adrian Borotea, corporate business directory of manufacturers and distributors of energy CEZ Romania, said that the annual fee will amount between 10 and 15 million per year.
Also, only the first three months of this year, was delayed seaside related grant of 348 million megawatts produced of six major manufacturers nationwide, Tomis Team (CEZ), Eolica Dobrogea, Ovidiu Development, EDP Renewables, Cernavoda Power Wind. That means 348,000 green certificates.
If we refer to similar production for month of March so far, that from the beginning of this year until now, the six producers totaled at least half a million green certificates deferred, which means, in relation to a maximum price of 50 euros certificate now grants the energy trading market, no more and no less than 25 million.
Without this we count the records Transelectrica 555 companies that benefit from the green certificates support scheme.
NPS overwhelmed: six times more applications than your system.
According to a report from Cambridge, our country has an absolute leading position in Central and Eastern Europe in terms of wind energy production.
Almost a quarter of all wind units in the new member states of the EU are located in Romania, says the document. The avalanche of wind projects generated, however, serious problems regarding transportation.
According to the study, the main obstacle to the construction of new units is the limited capacity of the national electricity transmission. In the last three years, were issued licenses to connect to the national network of units with a total capacity of 17,000 megawatts, while the NPS may incur maximum 3,300 megawatts.
State puts brakes to wind developers.
