Rompetrol Rafinare continues its investments in renewable energy and is launching a project to develop a photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 9.4 MW at the Petromidia refinery. The photovoltaic plant is expected to generate more than 9,800 MWh of renewable electricity annually, all of which will be used by the refinery.

The total project value is approximately 44 million lei, comprising about 14 million lei in nonrefundable financing from the Modernization Fund and a 30-million-lei contribution from Rompetrol Rafinare.

The project is scheduled for implementation by December 31, 2028, in accordance with the deadline set for the funding call. The project is part of the KMG International (Rompetrol) Group’s comprehensive decarbonization strategy.

In recent years, the Petromidia refinery has implemented significant projects to reduce environmental impact, increase energy efficiency, optimize technological processes, and strengthen the platform’s energy independence.

A flagship project is the new cogeneration plant at the Petromidia site, which entered commercial operation at the end of 2025. With an installed capacity of approximately 80 MW, the plant currently meets the refinery’s electricity and process steam requirements, contributing to the optimization of energy consumption and increased operational efficiency.
