Tihuţa Pass wind turbine
As of 2008, wind power in Romania has an installed capacity of 76 MW, up from the seven MW installed capacity in 2007. Romania has the highest wind potential in South Eastern Europe of 14,000 MW, and investors aleady have connection requests of 12,000 MW althought the national electricity transport company Transelectrica offered permits for only 2,200 MW. A study of Erste Bank places Romania and expecially the Dobrogea Region with Constanţa and Tulcea counties as the second best place in Europe to construct wind farms due to its large wind potential. Another study made by the Romanian Energy Institute (REI) sais that wind farms could contribute with 13 TW to the natioanl power generation capacity by 2020, and between 2009 and 2017 total wind farm capacity will comprise of 4,000 MW with investments of US$ 5.6 billion.
