When CWP Europe’s contractor Solarpro completes a 174 MW photovoltaic facility in mid-2025, as scheduled, it will be the biggest in Romania. It will feature LONGi’s bifacial modules.
Bulgaria-based Solarpro Holding is building a 174 MW solar power plant in Romania for CWP Europe. Chinese supplier LONGi said it would deliver more than 285,000 modules. Domestic firm Grup Blauer is also participating, as a developer, the update reads.
The site is southwest of Bucharest, in the Oltenia region, which has some of the highest irradiation levels in the country, the statement reads.
Equipment designed to withstand extreme weather
Annual output will be equivalent to the electricity needs of 115,000 homes, according to LONGi and Solarpro. They expect the facility to come online in mid-2025. LONGi revealed it would deliver its Hi-MO 7 photovoltaic panels, designed for utility-scale solar parks. They feature hybrid passivated dual-junction cell (HPDC) technology.
The efficiency of the modules is as high as 22.6% while the bifacial ratio amounts to around 80%, the supplier explained. It stressed that the devices can withstand extreme weather like strong heat.
Solarpro participating in some of biggest PV projects in Balkans
Solarpro Holding is a contractor for operations and maintenance (O&M) and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). It specializes in PV and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
The company said it has designed, built, and integrated solar power plants with a total capacity exceeding 7 GW. Furthermore, according to the statement, Solarpro has expertise in recycling PV modules and batteries.
The Oltenia PV plant would be the biggest in Romania at this moment. However, several much larger projects are under development including the 1.04 GW Dama Solar, which recently received construction permits.
Solarpro is also building the St. George photovoltaic facility for Rezolv Energy. It will be one of the biggest ones in neighboring Bulgaria.
The currently largest solar power plant in Romania is Rătești. Completed in late 2023, it has 154.7 MW in peak capacity.
