Romanian ENEVO Group has started the construction of a solar power plant for Croatia-based ENNA Group.
The site for the 87.5 MW photovoltaic plant is 25 kilometers southwest of Romania’s capital Bucharest. It is ENNA Group’s first major investment outside of Croatia.
Installation began after an EPC contract was signed in November between PVP Cepheus, owned by ENNA Solar, which is part of ENNA Group, and Romanian Enevo Group, ENNA said.
The Giurgiu solar power plant will be built in the Mihăilești area on 93 hectares. The expected annual electricity production is 133 GWh, the company added.
The investment is part of ENNA’s ten-year plan
The plant’s commercial operation and power delivery to the grid are scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. It is an investment of around EUR 60 million, according to the update.
“We are extremely pleased to announce the start of construction of our solar power plant just a few months after taking over the project. It is also a confirmation that we have chosen very reliable partners,” ENNA Group CEO Boštjan Napast stressed.
With this investment, the company is proving its commitment to a ten-year business plan with planned investments of EUR 330 million in solar energy in Croatia and abroad, he explained.
Under the EPC contract, Enevo is responsible for the entire solar power project – design, procurement, and construction.
Bureau Veritas is in charge of supervision services
Enevo Group Technical Director Radu Brașoveanu said it supports the expansion of the ENNA Group into the Romanian renewable energy market with this strategic solar investment.
Bureau Veritas will be in charge of supervision services in line with FIDIC standards, ENNA added.
Of note, the project in Romania was acquired in April.
It is implemented by ENNA Solar, which is part of the energy division of the ENNA Group. The parent company said it has around 50 MW in operational renewable energy plants or advanced projects, as well as about 350 MW in various stages of development.
ENNA is developing two geothermal power projects – Zagocha (Slatina) and Babina Greda.
In addition to energy, the company operates in the logistics sector.
