Simtel Team S.A. announces the signing of a contract worth 43 million euros (excluding VAT) with Hepa Energy, a company owned by a lead company from Israel. The contract covers the design, construction, and commissioning of a photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 67.46 MWp and a Battery Energy Storage Solution (BESS) with a storage capacity of 180 MWh, located in Sebeș, Alba County.

The project has an estimated implementation period of 12 months, at the end of which Simtel will deliver a turnkey hybrid PV+BESS (photovoltaic + battery storage) power plant.

Subsequently, the company will provide maintenance services for a period of at least 10 years, ensuring performance and production continuity. Simtel will act as general contractor, being responsible for delivering all services specific to an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contract, from design and engineering to execution and commissioning.

“This is one of the largest hybrid photovoltaic and battery storage projects announced so far at national level. The project will integrate the most advanced equipment available on the market, along with a design solution conceived to optimize the joint operation of photovoltaic plants and storage systems. The renewable energy produced and stored within this project will be delivered to the national grid, playing an important role in strengthening energy security and gradually transforming the energy system into a more sustainable one,” a Simtel release shows.
