Hidroelectrica revives 45 MW solar park project in Brăila County
<p>Romania’s state-owned electricity producer Hidroelectrica has launched a RON 158 million contract for the construction of the Tudor Vladimirescu photovoltaic park in Brăila County, Energy Tehnologies &amp; System documents show, as reported by <a href="https://www.profit.ro/povesti-cu-profit/energie/hidroelectrica-demareaza-un-proiect-de-parc-fotovoltaic-vechi-de-4-ani-22128033?mc_cid=71a0dc82f2&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Profit.ro</a>. The 45 MW project has been on hold since 2012, when the company entered insolvency.</p>

<p>The site covers 55 hectares of land owned by Hidroelectrica for several years, located near Transelectrica’s high-voltage lines and distribution and transformation stations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the technical specifications, the contract covers design, manufacturing and procurement, transport and delivery, preparatory works, installation of equipment, on-site testing, and commissioning. The project will be financed from the company’s own funds, with a completion timeline of three years.</p>

<p>Hidroelectrica is seeking to expand its presence in the photovoltaic energy sector. In addition to the Tudor Vladimirescu project, it has signed a contract for the “Nufărul” floating solar park in Ipotești on the Olt River and is planning to acquire four operational projects, targeting a combined solar capacity of 360 MW.</p>

<p>The company already operates the Crucea wind farm and remains Romania’s largest electricity producer, with an installed capacity exceeding 6,400 MW.</p>
