This is the largest wind farm ever approved in Romania and if completed, will be the largest such investment in the country.
The largest wind farm at the moment is the Fantanele-Cogealac, with a capacity 600 MW, but divided into two projects managed by two separate companies. Fantanele – Cogealac is a EUR1 billion investment made by Czech Republic’s CEZ in 2010 – 2012. Considering the decline in the cost of equipment, the recently approved investment in Galati could amount to some EUR500 milion, according to ZF estimates.
