Romania needs investments worth between 40 and 50 billion euros in the energy sector by 2030 for its energy strategy and to implement its plans, said on Tuesday the president of the Aspen Institute Romania, former deputy secretary general of NATO, Mircea Geoana.
"The figures I am going to give in terms of access to financing are taken from the econometric model of ANRE [National Energy Regulatory Authority -editor's note], which is very efficient. Last week, we had another activity of the Aspen Romania Institute, together with GlobSec, about financing what is called in English the "gap of investment" in critical infrastructures in Romania. Considering the ANRE model, extrapolated, by 2030 we will need, for the energy sector in Romania, between 40 and 50 billion euros of investments, to make our strategy and to implement our plans. (...) So, all in all, an enormous amount of money. In a delicate macroeconomic situation, with high borrowing costs, with expensive money for the public and private sectors in Romania, we need to find creative financing solutions together," Mircea Geoana mentioned at the Aspen Energy Summit 2025.
He mentioned public-private partnership projects, "green bonds" for the transition part, investment funds, sovereign funds.
The Aspen Institute Romania is organizing, on Tuesday, the 6th edition of the Aspen Energy Summit 2025, where political leaders and investors will discuss real solutions to the energy challenges of the present and the future.
The summit is organized together with the Ministry of Energy, ANRE, the Committee for Economic Policy, Reform and Privatisation of the Chamber of Deputies and Aspen Institute Central Europe.
