Namely, on December 31, 2013, wind energy projects totalling 2,503 MW, photovoltaic projects of 1,155 MW, biomass capacities of 65 MW, and hydro power plants amounting to 530 MW were operational.
Renewable energy producers get subsidies with green certificates, paid by all the consumers including the households, and highlighted separately on the electricity bills.
Romania has committed to reach 24% of renewable energy in its total consumption in 2020, but ANRE has announced that this target has been already reached on January 1, 2014.
To curb the surge of bills, on July 1, 2013 the Government decided to postpone the issue of some green certificates until 2017 — 2020.
Early in January, President Traian Basescu sent back to the Parliament the Law for the approval of the Government Emergency Order 57/2013. This Law included the provision of delaying the issue of green certificates only for the projects commissioned before January 1, 2014, which was not originally stipulated in the Order text.
Therefore, by not signing the Law, the effects of the Order are cumulated with those of the Government Decision of December, and solar power projects now get only one green certificate, the wind power projects only 0.5 certificates, and the micro hydro power plants only 1.3 certificates. ___
