Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to highlight the continuing need of policies for subsidizing through Green Certificates, the production of electricity from renewable sources in Romania and especially wind energy. Amending legislation in 2013 by diminishing the support for the RES producers led to a significant reduction in investment in this area and eventually will cause an end. Romania met the planned capacity for 2014 with 2967MW installed above 2880MW planned. However, reducing the number of GC can affect the deployment of future projects in order to meet the 4000MW expected by 2020.
