Financing Green Energy in Romania.

Improving energy efficiency refers to a reduction in energy used for a given service, usually associated with technological change, better organization and management or improved economic conditions. In our study we focus on how different financing programmes or options facilitate the development of these parameters that enhance energy efficiency. Consequently, this study wishes to approach the challenge of presenting the background of the actions of financing energy efficiency projects in Europe, as well as covering the existing such programs in Romania, providing insights on the most popular financing instruments on the market. Based on information received from experts (managers from energy sector) in Romania, this paper empirically explores the range of financing instruments available on the Romanian market, existing funding programs and the accessibility of these financing solutions for developers of energy efficiency.
