Austria’s Enery Development and Romania’s OMV Petrom have signed a 50-50 joint-venture agreement to build the Gabare photovoltaic park, a 400-MW solar complex planned near Byala Slatina, some 85 km north of Sofia. The partners intend to invest roughly EUR 200 million by 2027, partly through external financing, and have already secured construction permits and grid-connection rights.  Designed with single-axis tracking to squeeze maximum output from Bulgaria’s high-irradiance Danubian Plain, Gabare is expected to generate enough electricity to power about 150,000 homes and cut roughly 260,000 tonnes of CO₂ each year. The developers are also evaluating the addition of a battery-energy-storage system of up to 600 MWh, which would enable the plant to shift daytime surplus into Bulgaria’s evening peak and help the national grid smooth volatility as more renewables come online.  For OMV Petrom—Southeastern Europe’s largest integrated energy producer—the deal accelerates a regional diversification drive that has already seen the company co-develop 450 MW of solar projects on former Romanian lignite pits. Chief Executive Christina Verchere called the Bulgarian venture “a landmark step that underpins our ambition to reach 1 GW of renewable capacity by 2030 while supporting the EU’s net-zero roadmap.” Enery’s CEO Richard König described the 400-MW platform as “a template for bankable utility-scale solar in the Balkans, marrying strong local development with long-term PPA backing.”  Bulgaria has pledged to lift the share of renewables in final electricity consumption to 30 percent by 2030, up from 23 percent today. Analysts say shovel-ready, privately financed projects like Gabare will be critical, as the country faces EU pressure to accelerate coal retirements yet still grapples with grid constraints and a limited auction pipeline. By securing all key permits before financial close, the venture avoids the bottlenecks that have stalled several rival schemes. Construction is slated to start in early 2026, with first power targeted for late 2027.

Austrian power producer Verbund Green Power has secured more than 700 MW of photovoltaic modules from China’s Trina Solar Co Ltd under a five-year framework agreement that shores up its supply chain just as a new wave of solar projects heads for construction in Spain and Italy. Signed this week, the deal gives Verbund priority access to Trina’s latest high-performance panels, known for strong output and durability in hot, Mediterranean climates. The long-term purchase arrangement comes at a critical moment: Verbund’s 2030 strategy calls for at least 25 percent of the group’s electricity to come from solar and onshore wind, a steep climb from today’s hydro-dominated mix. “Locking in module volumes at this scale lets us move from permits to groundbreaking without worrying about global supply bottlenecks,” a Verbund spokesperson said. “It also secures pricing visibility when equipment costs are still volatile.” For Trina Solar, the accord deepens its foothold in one of Europe’s fastest-growing clean-energy corridors. Steven Xu, the manufacturer’s head of utility sales for Europe, called the agreement “a vote of confidence in our technology and local service operations.” Trina’s portfolio now ranges from large-format Vertex modules to its N-type TOPCon series, giving Verbund flexibility to match panel choices with site-specific conditions across both countries. Verbund Green Power already operates 1.1 GW of renewables—mostly hydro—spread across Austria, Germany, Spain, Italy, Romania and Albania. By blending new solar capacity with its storied hydro assets, the company aims to provide firmer, more predictable output as European grids integrate ever-higher shares of variable generation. Industry analysts say framework deals like this one are becoming standard among large developers seeking to insulate projects from price swings and shipping delays. “A guaranteed hardware stream over multiple years is now as valuable as the modules themselves,” notes Johannes Maurer, a Vienna-based energy consultant. “It helps de-risk schedules and financing, especially for portfolios spread across borders.” With design work finished on several Spanish and Italian sites, Verbund expects to begin breaking ground later this year. The first shipments from Trina’s Chinese factories are slated for early 2026, keeping the utility on track to meet its interim renewable-capacity milestones well ahead of 2030.
