Rezolv Energy, backed by Actis and Mubadala, announced that it appointed 7 companies to build its Dama Solar project in western Romania. The development is scheduled to begin commercial operations in the second half of 2028.
CHINT Green Energy, CMC Europe, and Solarpro will each handle separate engineering, procurement, and construction packages. Meanwhile, EnergoBit and Siemens Energy will develop the high-voltage electrical infrastructure, and Tongwei and Astronergy will supply the solar modules.
“With seven partners working across different elements of the project, coordination will be critical,” said Ivan Jara Carrasco, head of solar and storage at Rezolv Energy. “Our focus is on bringing their expertise together to ensure that the engineering, electrical infrastructure, and module supply work seamlessly as we move through construction.”
The appointments follow the signing of a financing package of up to EUR 561 million in September 2026 by Rezolv Energy subsidiary West Power Investments. The funding is being provided by a consortium of 14 lenders, with the European Investment Bank acting as an anchor investor.
Located in Arad county, western Romania, the project will cover more than 1,000 hectares and have an installed capacity of 1.36 GWp. Rezolv Energy expects it to produce approximately 1,800 GWh of electricity annually.
The estimated output is equivalent to around 36% of Romania’s total solar electricity generation in 2025, based on data cited by the developer.
“Dama Solar will make a major contribution to reducing Romania’s emissions and strengthening its security of energy supply,” Rezolv Energy CEO Alastair Hammond said. “Delivering a project of this scale requires a combination of international expertise, strong execution capabilities, and reliable technology.”
The construction phase is expected to employ up to 1,500 people at its peak. Rezolv Energy has also reserved 82 hectares within the site for a nature restoration area rather than power generation.
Dama Solar secured two contracts for difference in Romania’s second CfD auction in August 2025, covering 520 MW of its capacity.
In October 2026, Rezolv Energy signed a 10-year virtual power purchase agreement with retailer Ahold Delhaize for electricity generated by Dama Solar and the company’s planned 300 MW Dunarea East wind farm.
Dama Solar is part of Rezolv Energy’s 2.8 GW portfolio of renewable energy projects in Romania and Bulgaria. The company was launched in 2022 and is backed by infrastructure investor Actis and Abu Dhabi investment company Mubadala.
