Wind power potential in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania

Study on the potential of wind energy in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania

This study sheds light on the applicable potentials for wind power development in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania, indicating and informing decision makers and stakeholders how wind power may contribute to meet the future demand for electricity in a carbon-neutral manner. For that purpose, a technical analysis of the future potential for wind power at the countryside (onshore) as well as in marine areas (offshore) has been conducted. The detailed GIS-based analysis of the potential for wind power development builds on a comprehensive meteorological dataset at a high geographical resolution and incorporates spatial constraints related to competing land use. The outcome of this assessment are detailed maps showing available areas for wind power development as well as corresponding site qualities, and a comprehensive dataset that lists the identified wind power potential at regional level within a country by NUTS-3 region.
