The final 2010 situation related to wind farms shows unrivalledincreases. At the end of this year, Romania will most likely havethree major wind projects, operated by CEZ (the Czech Republic),Energias de Portugal and Enel (Italy), with a 464 MW capacity, over30 times higher than in 2009, and investments topping 830meuros.

Cautious estimates show, however, that 2010 will be completelyovershadowed by the wind energy invasion scheduled for 2011:projects with a 1,165 MW capacity and investments worth above twobillion euros.
The 464 MW can supply over 400,000 houses with an average monthlyconsumption of 200 KWh every year. The same 464 MW will generate,during a complete operational year, an energy quantity equallingalmost 2% in the entire energy quantity produced in Romania in2009. Moreover, starting from European statistical data,calculations show such a capacity generates 800 new jobs.
