Romania is set to align its renewable energy market with the European system for Guarantees of Origin (GOs). A newly published draft Emergency Ordinance confirms the government’s plan to join the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) by June 1, 2026, streamlining the country’s GO trading system in line with EU standards.
The move will enable cross-border GO transfers, enhancing transparency and reliability in tracking renewable electricity. Romania also plans to establish a local GO market with quarterly auctions to reinvest revenues into its energy infrastructure. Full integration into the EU-wide GO market is scheduled for January 1, 2027.
This policy shift is expected to boost corporate renewable energy procurement, particularly through power purchase agreements (PPAs), making it easier for multinational companies to access credible green energy.
Rezolv Energy, a leading renewable energy developer, has played a key role in Romania’s PPA market, securing five major agreements in 2023 totaling 350 GWh per year across industries such as automotive, telecom, and data centers. The upcoming changes are set to drive further investment in wind and solar projects, create jobs, and enhance Romania’s energy security.
