R. Power Renewables to start construction of 55 MW PV project in Romania
Polish company R. Power Renewables is about to build a solar power plant in Romania of 55 MW in peak capacity.
R. Power Renewables published the main details ahead of the start of construction of its Lazuri Solar Park, located in Satu Mare county in Romania.
The company said it is a major step forward in its commitment to expanding sustainable energy infrastructure in Central and Eastern Europe.
The works are set to begin before the end of September, according to the update. The facility is scheduled to come online in the third quarter of 2026.
The Lazuri Solar Park will be connected to the national grid through a newly constructed 110 kV switching station
The Lazuri Solar Park will be connected to the national grid through a newly constructed 110 kV switching station, implementing a loop-in/loop-out connection on the existing Vetiș–Abator 110 kV overhead transmission line, according to R. Power Renewables.
The project will not only contribute to Romania’s renewable energy targets but also strengthen local energy security and grid resilience, the Warsaw-based company underlined.
The solar farm of 55 MW in peak terms would generate approximately 70 GWh of clean electricity per year — enough to meet the annual needs of over 48,000 households and avoid nearly 17,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Lazuri is one of five R. Power’s solar farms in Romania that secured a 15-year power purchase contract
Lazuri is one of five R. Power’s solar power projects in Romania that secured 15-year contracts-for-difference (CfDs) through the national auction scheme, the firm said and added that in total, it won support for 85 MW of installed capacity.
In December 2024, after years of delays, the Ministry of Energy finally selected projects of an overall 1.53 GW, slightly more than the quota, in the first round of auctions.
Wind and solar power projects are eligible for subsidies under the CfD scheme. The first round of auctions resulted with ten and eleven winning bids, respectively.
