Shikun and Binui Energy Europe received the final regulatory goahead in Romania for a hybrid power plant with a 76 MW connection capacity. The site for the wind and photovoltaic facility in Iași county is alongside the administrative boundary with Botoșani.
After commissioning its first renewables project in Romania last August, the Satu Mare photovoltaic system, Shikun and Binui Energy is nearing the start of construction of a rare kind of a hybrid power plant. The Israel-based real estate developer obtained the establishment or setup authorization from the Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) for the Deleni 1 wind farm and Deleni 2 solar park.
The site is in Iași county in the northeast, bordering Botoșani county. Transmission grid connection would be 76 MW. The final milestone before the start of construction is valid for three years.
Twelve Vestas wind turbines of 7.2 MW would make up the wind power plant on 26 hectares, according to earlier documentation. It translates to a nominal 86.4 MW, while the PV component would contribute 15 MW in peak capacity. The solar park is envisaged with 25,200 Risen modules and 55 Sungrow inverters.
An earlier plan shows a 35-kilometer underground power line both for Deleni 1 and 2 and the Scobinți wind power project
The project firm, registered in Constanța, is called Deleni Wind Energy. Above it is Shikun and Binui Energy Romania, part of Shikun and Binui Energy Europe.
Also per an earlier update, the investor would install a 35-kilometer underground power line to connect Deleni and its planned Scobinți wind farm to the Boureni transformer station.
A few months ago, the company received the establishment authorization for Scobinți, of 111.8 MW.
Public Power Corp. (PPC Group) has a separate Romanian wind power project called Deleni as well. It is on the territory of an eponymous commune in the neighboring Vaslui county, south of Iași.
