USE OF RENEWABLE ENERGY AS A WAY TO REDUCE COSTS AND CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT REGIONAL LEVEL

Gradual but irreversible, exhaustion of fossil fuels existing on earth makes renewable energy, potential energy derived from resources such as water, wind, solar, biomass and ocean energy, to become the alternative to create new ways to implement an sustainable development, improving living standards and creating energy independence. Increasingly more countries began to adopt policies to encourage use of renewable energy sources and measures of their production for use as large scale. Since 2007 was approved by Romania's energy strategy for 2007-2020 which aims to meet the energy needs both now and in the medium and long term, at a price as low as suitable for a modern economy market and a high living standard in terms of quality, security of supply, while respecting the principles of sustainable development. Starting from this premise, in this article we try to develop a green energy profile, suitable for North-Eastern region of Romania that will complement ongoing efforts to create a regional sustainable development policy.
