Klaus Werner Iohannis, President of Romania, expressed enthusiasm, stating, "I'm very glad that Romania joins the International Solar Alliance today. This shows Romania's firm commitment to becoming a carbon-neutral country by using renewable sources of energy."
President Iohannis emphasized the strategic importance of this decision in enhancing Romania's energy security and highlighted the country's ambitious solar energy targets outlined in the National Energy and Climate Plan. The plan aims to install over 8 GWs of solar energy capacity by 2030, constituting 24 percent of the gross final consumption of electricity from renewable sources.
"By joining the International Solar Alliance, Romania will have a broader and deeper cooperation with India, the host of the International Solar Alliance Secretariat, as well as with other countries interested in accelerating climate change mitigation," added President Iohannis.
Dr. Ajay Mathur, Director-General of the ISA, welcomed Romania to the alliance, expressing optimism about the collaboration. "Romania was one of the first countries in the world to export oil, and I hope it now becomes a country that also exports electricity from renewables, specifically solar," remarked Dr. Mathur. He outlined the ISA's commitment to working with Romania on solar deployment, capacity building, and regulatory training programs.
Sebastian-Ioan Burduja, Minister of Energy, Romania, underscored Romania's significant solar potential in Southeast Europe and emphasized the country's commitment to a clean energy transition. "Romania has the largest solar potential in southeast Europe," he noted, highlighting the tremendous growth in the solar sector.
The ISA, established during COP21 in Paris, has been at the forefront of advancing solar energy initiatives globally. The framework agreement signed by Romania aligns with ISA's key interventions focused on readiness, enabling activities, risk mitigation, and innovative financing instruments to promote and deploy solar technologies in target markets.
