The Romanian wind energy market is opening new possibilities for Indian wind developers because the region is now focused on adding modern, efficient, and large-scale onshore wind farms. Recent technical requirements shared for a tender of around 105 MW provide a clear picture of what developers must plan for and also indicate strong business potential for Indian turbine manufacturers, EPC companies, and service providers. The projects must use only new equipment, and all turbines must be commercial, proven models, which creates an entry point for companies already supplying globally accepted technologies.
The tender specifies onshore wind farms with turbines generally in the 4–6 MW class, rotor diameters above 100 meters, and hub heights preferably between 120 and 140 meters. Indian companies that already produce or supply components for similar global turbine platforms can find strong collaboration and export opportunities here. The requirement for IEC Class II or III turbines also matches the types commonly produced by Indian-linked manufacturers.
There is also scope for Indian firms specializing in SCADA, digital monitoring, and grid integration because the project demands advanced remote-access control systems with full compliance to European grid codes. The grid connection will be made at 110 kV or 35 kV, and developers must finance the entire connection infrastructure, which opens opportunities for Indian EPC players experienced in substation and transmission work.
Mandatory studies such as long-term wind assessments, environmental clearances, and aviation permits create demand for consultancy and engineering services—areas where many Indian renewable energy firms have built strong capabilities. The commercial model includes a 15-year contract and a competitive feed-in premium, which provides revenue stability for investors. The turbine models mentioned—Vestas, Siemens Gamesa, GE Vernova, and Nordex—also indicate potential collaboration routes for Indian suppliers already working in their global value chains.
Overall, the structured technical rules, long-term contracts, and Europe’s shift toward clean energy make Romania an attractive new market for Indian wind businesses looking for international expansion.
