WALDEVAR Holding has begun construction of two co-located energy projects in Dobrești, Dolj, on behalf of SANY Group. The development comprises 95 MWp of solar PV, 220 MWh of battery energy storage and the high-voltage infrastructure required for grid connection and represents a major investment in Romania’s clean energy generation and energy security.

The Dobrești project combines utility-scale solar generation with 220 MWh of battery storage and dedicated high-voltage infrastructure, including a 110 kV/20 transformer substation and a 110 kV underground transmission line. By storing energy generated during the day and making it available after sunset and before sunrise, the project will support a more flexible and stable power system, while enabling the efficient integration of renewable energy into the national grid. The BESS will also provide grid balancing capabilities as Romania continues to expand its renewable energy capacity.

According to the project estimates, the solar plant is expected to generate approximately 135 GWh of clean electricity annually, equivalent to the electricity consumption of around 50,000 households, while avoiding approximately 40,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year.

“For WALDEVAR, the Dobrești project is a milestone at a key moment in the company’s development – one defined by its scale, its technical complexity and the execution capacity we are mobilizing. The competitive advantages we hold allow us to deliver projects of this magnitude quickly and efficiently.” It is also a strong demonstration of what our strategic partnership with SANY can achieve when we combine our respective capabilities around a major energy infrastructure project. We are proud to start this project together and see significant potential to build on this partnership through further projects in Romania and across Europe,” said Christian Leonte, CEO, WALDEVAR Holding.
