DTEK Renewables International (DRI), the Dutch-registered renewables division of Ukrainian energy and utility conglomerate DTEK controlled by Rinat Ahmetov, announced that it purchased a ready-to-build PV project in Romania with a planned capacity of 126MWp, which would become the group’s third such project in the country.<\/p>\n
The construction of the V\u0103c\u0103re\u0219ti solar park in Dambovita county, in the southern part of Romania, will begin this fall, and the park will become operational next fall.<\/p>\n
With the new project from V\u0103c\u0103re\u0219ti, DRI’s portfolio in Romania reaches 239 MW.<\/p>\n
“This is DRI’s third renewable energy production project in Romania, representing a new step in achieving the goal of developing a 1 GW portfolio in the country by 2028,” the company said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
DRI already has two operational projects, which have been producing electricity since the beginning of this year: a 53 MW photovoltaic park in Glodeni, Mure\u0219 county, and a 60 MW wind farm in Ruginoasa, Ia\u0219i county.<\/p>\n
DRI’s strategy is to develop projects through the acquisition of greenfield projects (from early stages to ready-to-build), local partnerships or, the acquisition of operational projects, where it can add value.<\/p>\n
