PPC Group opens a new photovoltaic project in Romania, in the region of Călugăreni, 40 km south of Bucharest, which was recently connected to the grid.

The estimated annual energy generation of the project is expected to exceed 193 GWh, sufficient to meet the energy needs of more than 48,500 households. The operation of the project is expected to prevent the emission of around 116,000 tonnes of C02 per year.

The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of RES PPC Group, Konstantinos Mavros, stated: “We remain committed to the Group’s strategy to be a dominant energy pillar in the wider region of Southeastern Europe. The new photovoltaic plant in Romania confirms our dominant position in the Romanian renewable energy market. We are constantly strengthening our green portfolio, with geographical and technological diversification, to maximize the benefits from the green transition and the interconnected energy market.”

The new photovoltaic plant is part of an agreement between PPC Group and Metlen Energy & Metals for renewable energy projects. A total of 460 MW of photovoltaic parks, part of an agreement with Metlen Energy & Metals, are expected to be constructed by the end of the year.
