Alerion Starts Commissioning 51-MWp Racari Solar

• Alerion Clean Power powers up its 51‑MWp Racari solar park in Romania—completing construction and starting commissioning. Testing now begins to deliver clean electricity and boost the country’s renewables growth.

Italian renewable energy producer Alerion Clean Power has completed construction of its 51-MWp Racari solar park in Romania and started commissioning ahead of commercial operations. The photovoltaic facility, located near Racari, moves to a testing phase that includes equipment checks, grid integration, and system verification.

The project adds capacity to Romania’s rapidly expanding solar market, which has attracted major investment from international developers. Racari is expected to strengthen Alerion’s renewable portfolio and contribute additional clean electricity to the national grid once fully operational, supporting Romania’s broader goals to increase clean generation and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

How will Alerion’s 51-MWp Racari solar park expansion boost Romania’s clean energy output?

• Adds 51 MWp of new solar capacity to Romania’s generation fleet, increasing the country’s potential year-round clean electricity output once the expansion enters full commercial operation
  
• Boosts daytime power availability from renewable sources, helping displace electricity that would otherwise be produced by fossil-fuel plants during peak solar hours
  
• Strengthens grid integration of distributed renewable generation by bringing additional utility-scale photovoltaic output onto Romania’s transmission and/or distribution system
  
• Enhances the reliability of Romania’s clean-energy mix through commissioning activities that verify performance, equipment readiness, and system behavior under real operating conditions
• Supports Romania’s clean power transition by contributing incremental reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions associated with electricity supply as solar generation substitutes for higher-carbon generation
• Helps diversify electricity supply by expanding solar resources beyond existing sites, improving the resilience of clean-energy portfolios against fuel-price or dispatch variability
• Contributes to national renewable targets and policy objectives aimed at increasing the share of electricity generated from low-carbon sources
• Signals continued capital inflows into Romania’s solar sector, which can accelerate further clean-energy buildout and related infrastructure improvements over time
