Romanian group to build €60 million wind farm
Blue Planet, part of Romanian group Blue Investments Holding, is to build a €60 million (US$77 million) wind farm in the east of the country by the end of next year, the company said Tuesday.
It will be Romania’s first wind farm and comes as the European Union sets targets for the country to provide more of its energy from renewable energy sources, said Emilian Jianu, general manager of Blue Planet.
The wind farm will be located in the town of Baia, near the Danube Delta.
The company said it plans to build other wind farms in Constanta near the Black Sea, Caras-Severin in southwest Romania and Vaslui in the northeast.
The EU says that by 2012, 8.3 percent of Romania’s energy consumption must come from renewable energy.
