The global energy transition is entering a new and exciting future, and this includes in countries like Romania with traditionally less infrastructure. The renewable energy sector has been growing substantially since the Paris Summit in 2016. Following the G20 summit in South Africa in November 2025, renewable energy targets were confirmed and committed to by several nations. Now, a former Soviet state has outlined its plans for the wind power sector by announcing that 2026 will see the first turbine deliveries for the Lalomița wind project in Romania.
Wind power capacity has been growing all over the world for the past ten years
Since the leaders of a litany of nations committed to clean energy production at the Paris summit, the renewable energy industry has grown by leaps and bounds. Now, like a rookie entering his first professional game, Romania is turning to an industry expert to develop its wind power sector beyond expectations in 2026.
Of the myriad of renewable energy options that are currently available, none offer the clean energy and decarbonizing properties of wind power. Wind power can supply vast amounts of energy for domestic grids, as well as having the scalability required for energy projects as demand increases over time. Romania is developing its own astonishingly large wind farm to ensure energy supply and security for a nation in the shadow of Moscow.
GE Vernova has entered into an agreement with Greenvolt International Power
GE Vernova recently confirmed it has entered into an agreement with Greenvolt to construct, supply, install, and hopefully commission 42 of its onshore 6.1 MW wind turbines for Romania’s Ialomiţa wind farm. Romania, along with the rest of the modern world, has some lofty ambitions for renewable energy capacity by the end of the decade.
GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind sector will serve the Romanian renewable energy sector well in 2026
GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind has a long history of wind power projects around the world. With over 120 years of experience in the energy sector, the company is perfectly positioned to supply the Romanian wind power sector, which has been growing to meet the nation’s clean energy targets for 2030.
With the new deal with Greenvolt in place, the energy firm is set to deliver its first wind turbines for the Ialomiţa wind farm this year. The new wind farm will hopefully have the capacity to generate enough electricity to power the equivalent of more than 110,000 homes. With Europe’s wind power sector growing across several nations, the future of the Ialomiţa wind farm in Romania is looking bright.
“We appreciate the confidence that Greenvolt has shown in GE Vernova’s teams and our technology. This project reinforces the value of our workhorse product strategy and demonstrates our ability to add value for customers in Romania and across Europe.” – Gilan Sabatier, Chief Commercial Officer for GE Vernova’s Onshore Wind business in International Markets
The new wind farm in Romania will have a combined capacity of 252 MW from the all-new wind turbines being supplied, installed, and commissioned by GE Vernova, marking the continued embrace of the wind power sector in Europe.
Europe’s proclivity for the renewable energy sector has led to a new era of growth
The new deal between GE Vernova and Greenvolt is just the latest in a long line of renewable energy projects being developed in Europe, with CINEA designating several wind projects as having been granted CB RES status. The European sentiment toward the renewable energy sector is clear. Wind power has terrific decarbonizing properties that the energy market is craving for at the moment, with the world needing to balance energy supply with the need to decarbonize the energy sector before the climate situation gets even worse.
