Abstract: Over the last decade, the World has shown increased concern for climate change and energy security. The emergence of these issues has pushed many nations to pursue the development of clean domestic electricity production via renewable energy (RE) technologies. RE development has generally been a top priority for the EU. The climate and energy legislative package, which was adopted just a few years ago, is already having a significant impact on the way in which the energy policies of member states are evolving, especially with regard to RE. The current paper aims to provide a review of energy regulations and RE support mechanisms specific to the EU and to place the recent changes in the Romanian energy policies within this context. The paper will also provide an outlook regarding the future of the EU and Romanian regulations based on a previous study of industry experts’ points of view and on recent announcements and press releases made by the Romanian Government. We will also address some of the implications of the EU’s energy legislation with regard to its fossil fuel suppliers. The results of this assessment will provide a reference for future research regarding the European and Romanian energy sector and will indirectly outline the expected evolution of the industry.
