Around midday on Tuesday, Romania provides more than 40% of its electricity consumption through wind sources, in the context of which the National Meteorological Administration has issued a yellow code for strong winds, which is in effect in Muntenia, in the southwest of Moldova and on the coast.

Thus, as of 12:30 p.m., wind turbines produced 2,418 MW, according to Transelectrica data, which reflects the state of the nation’s energy sector in real time.

At that time, total national consumption was 5,909 MW, production was 7,179 MW, and a surplus of 1,270 MW was exported.

According to ANRE data, wind turbines in Romania have a total installed capacity of 3,026 MW. That means most of the turbines were up and running by Tuesday afternoon.

The second place in the list of energy production sources at that time was nuclear (1310 MW), followed by hydro (1224 MW) and coal (811 MW).

691 MW came from photovoltaic panels, 680 MW from hydrocarbons and 41 MW from biomass.

The National Meteorological Administration has issued a yellow code for strong winds in Muntenia, southwestern Moldova and the coast until 11:00 p.m.

Most of Romania’s wind power plants are concentrated in these areas.
