Electrica, one of Romania’s leading energy companies, has completed and commissioned the Satu Mare 2 photovoltaic park, a €20 million renewable energy project designed to expand its clean energy portfolio and support Romania’s energy transition.
Located near Botiz in Satu Mare County, the plant has an installed capacity of 27.056 megawatts (MW) and includes a 110/20 kV transformer substation and grid connection infrastructure. The project received partial financing through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), part of Romania’s post-pandemic investment framework.
Electrica said the facility will increase the share of renewable energy in its generation mix, reduce carbon emissions, and provide affordable power for local communities.
“The completion of the Satu Mare 2 photovoltaic park is tangible proof of our commitment to Romania’s sustainable future,” Chief Executive Officer Alexandru Chirita said in a statement. “We will continue to develop projects that expand renewable capacity, lower our carbon footprint, and strengthen Romania’s role in the energy transition.”
In addition, the new plant forms part of Electrica’s long-term strategy to diversify its production assets and adopt modern, low-emission technologies that improve efficiency and meet environmental standards.
Electrica, one of Romania’s main energy groups, operates across electricity distribution, supply, and production, as well as energy services. It also serves around four million users in 18 counties, covering Northern Transylvania, Southern Transylvania, and Northern Muntenia for distribution, and operates nationwide in electricity supply and maintenance.
Listed on both the Bucharest and London stock exchanges since July 2014, Electrica remains the only Romanian listed company active across all major segments of the electricity sector.
