Abstract—The Centre Development Region of Romania
could be considered an underdeveloped region in terms of local
electricity production. In the region the local electricity
generation is not able to supply the regional energy
consumption, furthermore two of six counties have no
electricity generation. On the periphery areas of region still
existing 69 villages without electricity and 245 villages are
partially electrified. The Rural Development Programme for
Romaina includes the rural electrification using renewable
energy resources. However PV investments started to develop in
the last years. This paper presents an assessment of the PV
electricity generation potential and the already existing PV
projects. Considering the geographical, climate, social and
technical factors, the technical potential of PV electricity
generation has been also estimated using different types of
approaches. This paper presents an assessment of the PV
electricity generation potential in CDR of Romania and
estimates the existing opportunities for PV projects and clearly
demonstrate the necessity of investment in solar PV projects.
Index Terms—Solar energy potential, PV electricity
generation.
