Located in Vladimirescu commune, the facility covers 60 hectares and features approximately 75,000 bifacial 590 W photovoltaic modules from manufacturer Ja Solar. Now fully operational, the project bolsters Romania’s renewable energy generation while expanding CCE Romania’s portfolio of solar assets.
Trina and Allview partner on 65 MWh storage in Romania
Grid connection via regional DSO
Grid connection has been implemented through Retele Electrice Banat, a distribution system operator (DSO) in the Banat region covering Arad, Timiș, Caraș-Severin, and Hunedoara counties. The plant is linked to the Arad–Pâncota 110 kV overhead line, which crosses the southern boundary of the site. The connection infrastructure includes a dedicated 110 kV station, two new line pillars, and a 110/20 kV, 40 MVA transformer station located adjacent to the link.
EIB chief on North Macedonia: “Green finance is a strategic opportunity”
Battery storage planned to enhance grid flexibility
The permit authorises an output of 40 MW DC and 31 MW AC without requiring network reinforcement or N-1 automation, ensuring uninterrupted power evacuation. Plans are underway for a battery energy storage system to improve grid flexibility and operational security in the next phase of the project.
