The contract for the design and construction of the new photovoltaic park with an integrated energy storage system for Iași Airport has been signed. The design and construction work will be carried out by the Building Construction team at STRABAG Romania, which was awarded the contract.
Valued at approximately RON 19.5 million (excluding VAT), the contract covers both the design and execution phases. The project will include the installation of photovoltaic modules with a total installed capacity of 4.42 MWp (DC), supported by 21 string inverters with a combined AC capacity of 3.15 MW.
A key component of the project is the integrated battery energy storage system, which will provide a total storage capacity of 4.73 MWh. The system will store surplus energy generated during periods of peak solar irradiation and make it available during periods of increased demand or reduced solar production, contributing to a more efficient and resilient energy supply.
The photovoltaic park will be installed on a surface of approximately 58,500 square metres and will be fully integrated into the airport’s existing electrical infrastructure. In addition to power generation and storage facilities, the project will include electrical networks, transformers, monitoring and control systems (SCADA), a local weather station, security systems, and all associated infrastructure required for safe and efficient operation.
The facility will be equipped with a real-time monitoring platform, enabling continuous supervision of energy production, storage performance, and operational parameters. This digital approach will support efficient asset management and long-term operational reliability.
The contract includes a design period of three months and an execution period of seven months.
