Eurowind Energy Romania announces 1,200 MW wind energy project in Botoșani

Eurowind Energy Romania, a leading renewable energy developer active in Romania since 2011, confirms it is actively developing a significant wind energy project in Botoșani County. The initiative, currently in an early planning phase, aims to reach approximately 1,200 MW of installed capacity, positioning Romania as a potential major regional exporter of renewable energy.

Eurowind Energy Romania has already completed important preliminary steps, including securing land rights, submitting the grid connection application, and obtaining initial urban planning certification. The project involves the phased construction of nine wind farms distributed across nine communes in northern Botoșani County, with a timeline for completion extending to approximately 2031.

The next essential step is dialogue with local communities, authorities, and other relevant stakeholders. These discussions will shape the project’s timeline, final design, and specific technology selection.

Adrian Dobre, Country Manager Eurowind Energy Romania, stated:  “We’re committed to a transparent and collaborative process with all relevant parties. While the project is still in its early stages, the potential impact is significant. With an estimated total investment exceeding one billion euros, this wind farm complex could not only strengthen Romania’s renewable energy capacity but also enable the country to become a major energy exporter in the region.”

The Eurowind Energy Romania team’s immediate priority remains the completion of two renewable energy projects scheduled to become operational this year: the Teiuș photovoltaic park (60.2 MW) in Alba County and the Pecineaga wind farm (48 MW) în Constanța County. Previously, Eurowind Energy successfully developed three additional renewable energy projects in Romania: the photovoltaic parks in Pufești (Vrancea County, operational since 2012), Halchiu (Brașov County, operational since 2013), and Mihăilești (Ilfov County, operational since 2013).
