How these challenges are addressed at global and national level is the main topic approached by the paper using as case study Romania. The availability of resources and how they compare with the current and growing needs of energy is analyzed and discussed. The analysis is taking in account the structure by primary energy sources and the dynamic on the last decades. Applying the same approach for energy imports it is calculated the degree of energy freedom and how this could be improved by considering the potential of renewable energy.
