Engie Romania has completed the acquisition of a 54 MW wind power project located in Mereni in central Romania.

Engie Romania said the Mereni wind project is located in Constanța county, an area with high wind potential, recognized for its superior yields in green energy production.

The project represents a strategic step in expanding the company’s renewable energy portfolio and supports its goal of reaching an installed capacity of 1 GW by 2030, according to Engie Romania, a subsidiary of the French energy giant Engie.

The project was acquired in a “ready-to-build” stage, with all necessary building permits in place to begin construction. Installation is scheduled to begin later this year, with commissioning scheduled for 2027, according to a press release.

The Mereni wind farm will deliver 180 GWh of renewable energy annually

With an estimated annual production of 180 GWh, the Mereni wind farm will deliver renewable energy equivalent to the annual consumption of approximately 90,000 households. Engie estimates that this amount of electricity can support the operation of about 20 medium-sized data centers with 1 MW of continuous power each.

Cristian Buzan, Deputy General Manager of Engie Romania, underlined that this acquisition reflects the company’s constant commitment to actively contributing to the energy transition by developing a diversified portfolio of renewable projects.

Engie Romania currently operates an installed capacity of 211 MW from renewable sources

“We continue our evolution with concrete steps, supported by the ambition to be a trusted partner for our customers, offering sustainable and competitive solutions, adapted to their long-term needs,” Buzan noted.

Engie Romania currently operates an installed capacity of 211 MW from renewable sources. The portfolio comprises three wind farms with a combined capacity of 178 MW and five photovoltaic plants totaling 33 MW. These assets are located in different regions of the country.

The company’s latest projects are its first 57 MW hybrid power plant and the acquisition of an operational 80 MW wind farm.

Its next move is to put into operation a 37.2 MWp solar power plant in Ariceștii Rahtivani, Prahova County.
