Verbund Wind Power Romania, part of Austrian energy group Verbund, has acquired a fully developed wind project from local renewable energy producer Monsson.

The wind project, located in Caraș-Severin County, has a total capacity of 272 MW and an estimated annual production of approximately 569 GWh.

The project was acquired at the "Ready to Build" stage, meaning it has already secured all the necessary permits and connection points. Construction is slated to begin in 2026.

“At Verbund, we continuously seek to stimulate the growth of the clean energy sector in Romania, in line with our sustainable business approach,” said Adrian Borotea, GM of Verbund Wind Power Romania.

Verbund has been active in Romania since 2012, operating the 226 MW Casimcea wind farm in Tulcea County.

The company aims to generate one quarter of its electricity from wind and solar by 2030.
