- LONGi aims to supply technology for 50% of Enery’s 1.5GW renewable energy pipeline across Central and Eastern Europe.
- Enery has begun construction of Romania’s 761MWp Ogrezeni hybrid project, featuring over 1GWh of battery storage and more than 1.1 million LONGi solar modules.
LONGi Solar Europe is strengthening its presence across Central and Eastern Europe through a strategic partnership with independent power producer Enery as the company advances a 1.5GW renewable energy project pipeline scheduled for delivery between 2026 and 2027.
The global solar technology company is positioning itself as the primary technology provider for 50 per cent of Enery’s planned pipeline, reinforcing its role in the region’s accelerating energy transition.
Leon Zhang, President of LONGi Europe, described the collaboration as a significant milestone in the company’s regional growth strategy. “Our strategic alliance with Enery has entered a historic phase,” Zhang said.
He noted that Enery’s growing project portfolio demonstrates its leadership in the region and highlighted the Ogrezeni hybrid project as a model for Europe’s future energy infrastructure.
According to him, LONGi will supply more than 1.1 million of its flagship Hi-MO 9 Back Contact photovoltaic modules for the project, helping to strengthen grid resilience and expand clean energy deployment across the region.
At the centre of the partnership is the Ogrezeni hybrid project in Giurgiu County, Romania, where Enery has officially commenced construction. The project combines a 761MWp solar photovoltaic plant with more than 1GWh of battery energy storage capacity, making it one of the largest hybrid renewable energy developments in Europe.
Enery secured €460 million in syndicated green financing for the project, with support from the Three Seas Initiative Investment Fund.
Meanwhile, Alberto Martinez, Head of Construction and Operations and Maintenance at Enery, said the company selected LONGi’s Hi-MO 9 Back Contact technology to maximise efficiency and energy output. “With Ogrezeni, we are taking a major step forward in delivering large-scale renewables that create long-term value,” Martinez said.
He added that LONGi’s local team has provided strong engineering and logistical support throughout the project development process.
To support project delivery, Enery appointed Romania-based ENEVO Group as the Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractor. The collaboration aims to maximise local content participation by sourcing engineering services, construction expertise and materials within Romania.
ENEVO Group expects the project to create approximately 350 jobs during peak construction.
Cristian Pîrvulescu, Chief Executive Officer of ENEVO Group, said the project demonstrates the capability of local engineering expertise to deliver complex renewable energy infrastructure to international standards.
Furthermore, the Ogrezeni project will deploy 1,167,120 LONGi Hi-MO 9 modules powered by the company’s proprietary Hybrid Passivated Back Contact (HPBC 2.0) cell architecture. Each module delivers up to 660 watts of peak power and achieves conversion efficiency of up to 24.8 per cent.
LONGi said the technology’s Zero Busbar design increases light absorption, improves power density and reduces balance-of-system costs while maintaining low degradation rates throughout its 30-year operating life.
Mirel Jarnea, Country Manager for Romania at LONGi Europe, described the project as a major achievement for Romania’s energy security and the wider South-East European region. He said the company’s local team remains committed to ensuring the technology delivers maximum energy generation and project performance.
The facility is scheduled for full commissioning in 2027.
Once operational, it will generate enough electricity to supply approximately 684,000 Romanian households while avoiding an estimated 303,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
The integrated battery storage system will also help optimise renewable energy output and minimise solar curtailment, strengthening grid flexibility and reliability.
The project highlights growing investment in utility-scale solar and battery storage infrastructure across Central and Eastern Europe as governments and private developers accelerate efforts to meet energy security and decarbonisation goals.
