E.ON and Cramele Recaș start the construction of a photovoltaic plant

• 1,680 solar panels will be installed;

• The plant will generate 888.64 MWh of electricity;

• CO2 emissions will be reduced by about 260 tons per year;

E.ON Energie România and Cramele Recaș, the largest wine producer in Romania according to the turnover from 2020, start this month the construction of a photovoltaic power plant, an investment worth almost 430,000 euros that will provide 20% of the energy necessary for the winemaking complex.

The plant will have 1,680 455 Wp photovoltaic panels that will be installed on the production halls in Recaș, on an area of ​​4,000 square meters.

“More and more companies in Romania are opting for sustainable business models, and we are here to offer them energy solutions adapted to their needs.
