The park, owned by Portuguese group Eface, occupies 36 hectares and cost EUR16,5 million.
The installation will have 52,000 solar panels and will produce enough electricity annually to cover the needs of around 5,000 household consumers.
“The solar power park is 100% ecological and has a life span of 20 years. All works will be finished by December 31 and the station will start producing electricity in the first days of 2013,” UTI officials told Mediafax Thursday.
Efacec is a group of companies headquartered in Portugal, with 100 years experience in the energy sector, and over 4,500 employees. The group is active in over 65 countries and has sales of around EUR1 billion.
Romanian group UTI is working to build access infrastructure, general electric installations and the solar power plant’s security system.
Romania has a total installed solar power capacity of 13.1 MW and other units, totaling nearly 100 MW, are set to be built next year.
