The newly launched Salbatica unit thus joins the Agighiol plant, launched in December 2010, more than doubling Enel Green Power’s local capacity to 64 MW.
The new unit will have an annual production estimated at 85.5 million kWh, supplying some 29,000 households, Enel Green Power said in a statement.
“With Salbatica we are doubling in a month’s time our wind power production in Romania (…) Our energy generation in the country will continue to expand at a rapid clip over the next two years, thanks to the many projects that are close to implementation,” the company’s Chief Executive Officer Francesco Starace said.
The Enel Group, which has been operating in Romania since 2005, is currently the largest private investor in the power industry, with 5,000 employees and a 93 thousand km network that serves approximately 2.6 million customers.
