Confirmed

The Romanian Black Sea shelf has a huge wind energy potential of over 70 GW.

Omissions

• The World Bank study distinguishes between technical potential (~76 GW) and feasible installed capacity (around 7 GW). The MEP cites the higher technical potential figure.
• The figure of 76 GW refers to technical potential, not the currently planned or economically viable capacity for installation, which is significantly lower.
