Transformer Station at Teius Solar Park Completed
Danish renewable project developer Eurowind Energy has completed the installation of the transformer station at Teius solar park, bringing the finalisation of the park one step closer. Due to become operational in mid-October 2024, the project with a total installed capacity of 60,2 MW, will produce approximately 103 MWh per year, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions by 37,125 tons annually.
The internal transformer station, an essential element of the park, was acquired through a competitive procurement process won by ENEVO Group and built to the highest standards of quality and safety. Additionally, the procurement contract with the supplier included the transport, installation, testing, and commissioning of the transformer station and the 110/20 kV, 80 MVA power transformer. These will ensure the efficient integration of the energy produced into the national electrical grid.
“We are extremely pleased to announce the finalisation of the transformer station and the start of photovoltaic panel installation at the Teius solar park. This project reflects our commitment to investing in Romania’s green and sustainable future and bringing significant benefits to the local community and the national economy,” Adrian Dobre, Country Manager of Eurowind Energy Romania, pointed out.
The project is financed by the National Recovery and Resilience Program (NRRP) and developed by the beneficiary Teius Solar.
The park will integrate renewable electricity production with agricultural activities over the same land area. This model allows 130 landowners to utilize the 80 hectares for agricultural purposes, including grazing for animals. This innovative approach maximizes land use efficiency and contributes to mitigating climate effects, exemplifying the potential of agrivoltaic projects worldwide.
In its 2022/23 Annual Report, Eurowind Energy shows that the project development pipeline significantly grew from 25 GW in 2021/22 to 34 GW in 2023. The growth was primarily driven by the Danish, Romanian, Spanish and American pipeline.
