Summary of support schemes
RES-H technologies may be supported by subsidies from the National Rural Development Programme for own consumption. Furthermore, the Romanian Environmental Fund provides subsidies both for natural persons and administrative-territorial units, religious institutions and public institutions for the installation of heating systems using renewable energy sources.
In April 2017, the government approved through Government Decision no. 216/2017 a new state aid support scheme to promote energy production from less exploited renewable sources, namely biomass, biogas and geothermal energy. The support scheme aims to increase the electricity and thermal energy production from these sources by 60MW until 2023.
Technologies
In general, the subsidy programmes promote all RES-H technologies.
