63-MW Solar Park Blooms in Romania for Enel Green Power

• Enel Green Power Romania has successfully powered up its 63-MW Lumina solar park in Romania. Expected to generate 99 GWh of energy annually, the facility is also connected to the high-voltage grid of the concessionaire. Additionally, Greek companies PPC SA and Mytilineos SA are investing to further the growth of renewable energy in Romania.

Enel Green Power Romania has successfully powered up its 63-MW Lumina solar park in the Calugareni area of Giurgiu County in Romania. The facility consists of 120,000 JA Solar bifacial monocrystalline panels and is expected to generate 99 GWh of energy per year. It is connected to the high-voltage grid of the concessionaire distribution operator E-Distributie Muntenia, and can potentially incorporate energy storage. Enel Green Power Romania’s total operational wind and solar portfolio is around 600 MW, and the company is in the process of offloading its Romanian assets to Greek power utility PPC SA.

Separately, Greek industrial group Mytilineos SA, who developed the solar park, is selling 211 MW of solar projects in Romania to another Greek company, Helleniq Energy. This move is expected to further bolster the growth of renewable energy in the country.
