Wind climate changes until now
A decrease of the average wind speed has been observed over the last decades, especially for the eastern side of the country and for the mountains.

How does climate change affect wind?
How does climate change affect wind?
—Increasing global average surface temperatures may reduce the amount of wind energy available for electricity production, a new study says. —Global air circulation is influenced by many aspects of the global climate, including differences in atmospheric temperatures between the equator and the North and South Poles. / Alina Cordoneanu - Romania
Why is there so much wind lately?
Why is there so much wind lately?
Cold air is dense air. Dense air has a higher air pressure. Therefore, the air pressure tends to be higher (on average) in places in the winter time where the air tends to be colder. The air tends to be colder in the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest. / Bora Theresa - Romania
What is wind caused by?
What is wind caused by?
Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator. Anamaria Gabriela Borta, Romania

For nearly sixty-two years, Mount Washington, New Hampshire held the world record for the fastest wind gust ever recorded on the surface of the Earth: 231 miles per hour, recorded April 12, 1934 by Mount Washington Observatory staff. / Diana Alexandra Tirnovanu - Romania
WHAT IS WIND POWER?
WHAT IS WIND POWER?
Wind power is the energy obtained from the wind. It is one of the oldest-exploited energy sources by humans and today is the most seasoned and efficient energy of all renewable energies.
HOW DOES WIND POWER WORK?
Wind power consists of converting the energy produced by the movement of wind turbine blades driven by the wind into electrical energy. / Tunsian Team
WIND POWER BENEFITS
WIND POWER BENEFITS
Wind energy is a source of renewable energy. It does not contaminate, it is inexhaustible and reduces the use of fossil fuels, which are the origin of greenhouse gasses that cause global warming. In addition, wind energy is a “native” energy, because it is available practically everywhere on the plant, which contributes to reducing energy imports and to creating wealth and local employment.
2. For these reasons, producing electricity through wind energy and its efficient use contributes to sustainable development.
3. Wind energy does not emit toxic substances or contaminants into the air, which can be very damaging to the environment and to human beings. Toxic substances can acidify land and water ecosystems, and corrode buildings. Air contaminants can trigger heart disease, cancer and respiratory diseases like asthma.
4. Wind energy does not generate waste or contaminate water—an extremely important factor given the scarcity of water. Unlike fossil fuels and nuclear power plants, wind energy has one of the lowest water-consumption footprints, which makes it a key for conserving hydrological resources.
