Developed by CEZ Group, it was commissioned in 2012 and includes 240 GE turbines producing 10% of Romania’s renewable energy and supplying electricity to over 1 million households.
Note on Other Projects
- Dogger Bank B and C (United Kingdom, Offshore, 2,400 MW total): Phases B and C of Dogger Bank are still under construction, with planned completion in 2025 and 2026, respectively. If phase B is partially commissioned by August 2025, Dogger Bank’s total capacity may reach 2,400 MW.
- Baltic Power (Poland, Offshore, 1,140 MW): This project in the Baltic Sea began installing 76 turbines at 15 MW each, but full operation is expected in 2026.
- New Project in Romania (Onshore, 1,200 MW): The planned Eurowind station with a capacity of 1,200 MW has not yet been commissioned.
Wind energy in Europe continues to show rapid growth, taking the lead among renewable energy sectors. In 2025, wind power became a key tool for reducing dependence on fossil fuels and achieving climate goals. The largest wind farms, including Borssele in the Netherlands and Hornsea in the UK, provide millions of households with stable electricity. Thanks to the development of both offshore and onshore projects, electricity production in Europe is becoming ever cleaner and safer.
Renewable energy in European countries has received new impetus thanks to investments in large-scale wind parks, which reduce CO₂ emissions and increase energy independence. Wind projects in Sweden, Norway, and Romania complement the achievements of the Netherlands and the UK, creating a diversified generation network. Thus, renewable energy in Europe not only shapes the future of the continent’s power sector but also serves as an example of sustainable development for the world.
The listed large-scale projects are vivid proof that wind energy is a key component of the energy future. Implementing such facilities requires deep knowledge, professional expertise, and experience.
