Romania’s rapidly expanding renewable energy sector is facing significant challenges related to workforce shortages, equipment supply chains, grid capacity and regulatory bottlenecks, according to Christian Leonte, CEO of Waldevar Holding.

Speaking at the Energy CEO Forum organized by The Diplomat-Bucharest, Leonte said the industry’s growth is creating unprecedented demand for highly specialized professionals.

“One of our main challenges is human resources. Not only in the energy industry, but especially here, we are facing a major shortage of qualified personnel. We need engineers, project managers, SCADA specialists and BESS experts for energy storage systems – a profession that did not even exist five years ago,” Leonte said.
