The park will cover an area of 1,262 hectares and put out 103.5 MW of power using 45 wind turbines supplied by Siemens. Building a wind power capacity of one MW costs EUR1.2-1.5 million, according to information on the market.
Several other wind power parks are under development in the vicinity of Electrawinds’ project, with a total installed capacity of over 600 MW, nearly as much as one of the Cernavoda nuclear plant’s reactors.
Electrawinds completed its first wind park in Romania in 2010, in Topolog, Tulcea county, and aims to bring its local parks’ total installed capacity to 200 MW.
The Belgian company has also developed a solar power project, with a capacity of 10 MW.
Electrawinds was founded in 1998 by brothers Luc and Paul Desender, and produces renewable energy in Belgium, France, Italy, Romania and South Africa.
