The Energy programme in Romania under the EEA & Norway grants (RO-Energy), operated by Innovation Norway, has the objective to achieve less carbon intensive energy and increased security of supply and strengthen the long-term cooperation between the Donor States – Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway and the Beneficiary State – Romania. The budget of the programme is over 60 million euro for the period of 2014-2021.
