Danish renewable developer Eurowind Energy continues advancing plans for its landmark 1.2 GW onshore wind complex in Botosani County, Romania, though the project remains in the early development phase as of May 2026. The latest major development came in April 2026, when the company inaugurated the 48 MW Pecineaga Wind Farm in Constanta County – its first operational wind project in Romania – signaling growing execution capacity and reinforcing confidence in its long-term pipeline, including the Botosani mega-development first announced in March 2025.

While no construction has yet started on the 1.2 GW project itself, Eurowind has maintained momentum through permitting, land consolidation, and portfolio expansion, indicating the project remains firmly on track within its long-term rollout strategy toward 2031.

Project Team

Developer: Eurowind Energy A/S

Romania Subsidiary: Eurowind Energy Romania

Grid and Transmission: Transelectrica (Romanian transmission system operator)

Permitting Authority: ANRE Romania – National Energy Regulatory Authority

Project Outlook

The Botosani project remains one of Romania’s most ambitious renewable developments and a test of the country’s ability to absorb gigawatt-scale onshore wind investment. Although still in pre-construction phase, Eurowind’s successful commissioning of Pecineaga points toward positive execution capability and may improve investor confidence as the company advances the larger northern Romania platform.

If approvals progress smoothly, Botosani could become a cornerstone asset in Romania’s long-term energy diversification and regional export ambitions. This will be alongside other energy projects in the country including Neptun Deep – the largest natural gas project in the Romanian Black Sea – which is advancing pipeline construction ahead of first gas in 2027.

Romania to See 1.2 GW Wind Farm Development by Eurowind Energy

Reported March 6, 2025 – Construction of a new 1.2 GW wind project is set to begin soon in Romania undertaken by Eurowind Energy Romania. The project will be located in northern Botosani County. Furthermore Eurowind Energy have announced that they aim to complete the project by 2031. The entire project will be constructed in phases, with a total of nine wind farms. They will be distributed across nine communes and have a total of 1200 MW installed capacity. In total, the required investment for the project is estimated to be more than US$1 billion.

Details on the 1.2 GW Eurowind Energy Project in Romania

The developers have already completed the preceding steps that are required to undertake this project. This includes securing land rights, submitting the grid connection application and obtaining initial urban planning certification. The next step for the project is holding discussions with local communities, authorities and other relevant stakeholders. Further, Eurowind Energy will be able to complete the final design for the project and select specific technology that will be used on the wind farms.

Project Overview

Location: Northern Botosani County, Romania

Capacity: 1200 MW

Project cost: Over US$1 billion

Number of wind farms: 9

Completion date: 2031

“We’re committed to a transparent and collaborative process with all relevant parties. While the project is still in its early stages, the potential impact is significant,” Adrian Dobre, Country Manager Eurowind Energy Romania, stated. “With an estimated total investment exceeding one billion euros, this wind farm complex could not only strengthen Romania’s renewable energy capacity but also enable the country to become a major energy exporter in the region,” he added.

Other Eurowind Energy Projects in Romania

This wind project is not the first energy project that the company has undertaken in Romania. Currently, the company is working on a solar park in Alba County named the Teius that will have a capacity of 60.2 MW. Additionally, the Pecineaga wind farm in Constanta county with a capacity of 48 MW is also under construction. The Botosani Wind project will position the country as a potential major regional exporter of renewable energy.
