8.6MW! Engie Romania Invests in The Largest Self-use Photovoltaic Project in Romania
May 30, 2022
According to foreign media reports, Engie Romania, the Romanian branch of French energy group Engie, said recently that it is building an 8.6MW photovoltaic power generation facility at a glass production plant operated by Saint Gobain Romania in the Muntenia region of southeastern Romania.
Upon completion, the project will be the first and largest self-consumption photovoltaic power generation facility in Romania, which will mainly provide electricity for the glass production plant and will meet about 20% of its electricity needs.
A spokesperson for Engie Romania said, "In a dynamic and volatile energy market, the deployment and use of renewable energy generation facilities on-site at customers' production facilities is a sustainable solution that provides cost predictability while significantly reducing carbon footprint.”
In addition, the Romanian government introduced new rules last year to facilitate bilateral power purchase agreements.
