Silcotube's Solar Power Plant: Green Energy in Romania
- Silcotube's new solar power plant in Calarasi, Romania is set to reduce emissions and generate over 30,700 MWh of renewable electricity annually. A sustainable step forward for the seamless pipe manufacturer.
Silcotube, a Romanian seamless pipe manufacturer, has begun construction on a 19.8 MW solar power plant in Calarasi, Romania. The project is valued at 96.9 million lei, with nearly 29.1 million lei coming from a non-reimbursable grant from Romania's National Recovery and Resilience Plan. The rest of the funding is provided by Silcotube.
The solar power plant is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 18,971 equivalent tonnes of CO2 per year. With a nominal power of 19.8 MW and an installed capacity of over 21.2 MWp, the plant will generate more than 30,700 MWh of electricity annually from renewable sources, totaling 614,260 MWh over 20 years. Silcotube, a producer of small diameter seamless pipes, operates fully integrated production units in Romania and has been part of Tenaris since 2004.
