Eurowind Energy invests 50 million euros in a new solar PV park in Romania

Eurowind Energy, a Danish developer and operator of wind, solar and hybrid projects, will start in October the works for the construction of a new PV park, with a capacity of 70 MW, located near the town of Teius, Alba County. The construction of the park represents the company’s fourth project in Romania and will involve an investment of 50 million euros.

„We aim, through everything we do, to contribute to building a sustainable, greener, and better future for all of us, and the Teius PV project represents another step on this road. This park is only the beginning of what is next for our plans in Romania, having a pipeline of energy projects of approximately 4GW. We are convinced that, by investing in renewable energy solutions, we are not only helping to mitigate the global climate challenge, but also to develop areas and communities, which makes us very happy and motivates us to continue in this direction”, said about the new project Adrian Dobre, Country Manager Romania, Eurowind Energy.

The PV park from Teius is the fourth renewable energy project developed by Eurowind Energy in Romania, the company having 12 operational energy parks in Europe with a capacity of 100 MW. The other local projects are the photovoltaic parks from Halchiu, Măgurele (both built in 2013) and Pufesti (built in 2012), each with a capacity of 2,03 MW, 3,38 MW, respectively 1,5 MW, summing up a capacity of approx. 7 MW.

Scheduled to become operational next year, in 2024, the PV park in Teius will be developed on 80 hectares of land and will have 119,184 photovoltaic modules, with a total capacity of 70MW, generating 102.05 GWh per year. Thus, the new project will be able to supply electricity annually for up to 30,050 households. Once construction is completed, Eurowind Energy will retain ownership of the photovoltaic park.

The new agrovoltaic park from Teius will combine the production of electricity from renewable sources (photovoltaic panels) with agriculture, thus contributing to the development of the area both in terms of energy and agricultural activities. 130 owners will be able to use the 80 hectares of land on which the park is built for agricultural purposes, with access for their animals to graze.

With a very high potential for development around the world, the concept of agrovoltaic project involves the sharing of the same area of land for both solar PV energy production and agriculture, thus maximizing the available resources and contributing to the mitigation of climate effects.
