“The solar park represents the first phase of a larger project with a cumulative capacity of 270 MWe and additionally RON 820 million of investment. We want to bring major changes to the energy landscape in Romania and aim to reach a total capacity of almost 1 GWe by 2026. This initiative reiterates our long-term commitment to promoting the development of renewable energy in the region,” said British businessman Dinesh Dhamija.
