Until now, Romania has represented the Eldorado for small and medium Italian enterprises in the textiles, footwear and mechanical or for major banking groups in the peninsula, all Sanpaolo and UniCredit, the country could in future become an important investment opportunity for entrepreneurs working in the field of renewable energy. After years of economic growth among the highest in Europe, including Romania is affected by the crisis, and the interchange with Italy is no longer growing as it once was, indeed, "from February Italian investments are firm," stated Institute Foreign Trade (ICE) in Bucharest. Nevertheless, Romania has in the field of green energy potential is still unexplored. Of a certain size is only the production of hydroelectric power. In this area stands the Padua-based company Espe, since 2004 that manages a number of facilities in the district of Maramures in the north of the country (the company is also very active in Puglia, has just opened a solar farm of 4.5 MW in Salento and has offices in Molfetta).
Romania, like other EU countries must comply with European regulations on environmental protection - the famous policy of 'twenty percent' - and is to come to terms with the need to reduce the gap that separates it from other EU members. The government is trying to run for cover. "I think at the moment, Romania has the best legislation in Europe on renewables. [...] Up to 2015 there is a double 'certificate green ', so if you build today, you can practically operate with a double incentive to 2015, "said Rod Christie, president of General Electric Energy for Eastern Europe and Russia, in an interview with the magazine on-line EurActive.com. Some large Italian companies have sensed the business, planning large investments. Foremost Enel, already one of the main distributors of electricity in the country with a market share of 30%, which plans to invest € 7 billion in renewable energy 2012. They began to move also Sorgenia group company De Benedetti, and Edison. Entrambe hanno pronti piani di investimento nel campo dell'eolico, che, secondo gli analisti, insieme alle biomasse è il settore in cui la Romania ha le maggiori possibilità di crescita, anche se l'European Wind Energy Association lamenta i troppi ostacoli amministrativi e tecnici per l'allaccio alla rete.
Un'altra opportunità estremamente interessante è rappresentata dai fondi strutturali europei che faranno affluire verso la Romania, nel periodo 2007-2013, un po' meno di 30 miliardi di euro, di cui circa 637 milioni destinati al sett ore ambiente, efficienza and renewable energy. The ICE office in Bucharest has prepared an information desk on the subject, and some Italian consulting firms are already at work: the Studio Gianfelice, for example, which has offices in Timisoara and Bucharest, goals preferred by our own entrepreneurs. There are two channels through which Italian companies can make use of EU funds: by participating directly or through invitations to tenders conducted by the winning companies. They will know our businesses meet the challenge?
