Polls show that Romania’s solar boom is not slowing down, with the Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) predicting that the number of prosumers will reach 100,000 by the end of 2023. About 24.11% of Romanians plan to install solar panels within the next three to five years, with cost reduction and energy independence being the main reasons. Only 16% of respondents mentioned government subsidies, and 40% considered an investment of €3,000 to €4,000 to be sufficient to become a prosumer. Romania is providing massive subsidies, which Prime Minister Nicola-Ionel Ciuca estimates will be enough to benefit up to 80,000 beneficiaries.
