Spanning 57 ha, the solar park is projected to generate an estimated 57 GWh of green electricity annually, equivalent to the yearly consumption of over 31,000 households.

The company's local renewable portfolio includes three wind farms with a capacity of 178 MW and six photovoltaic parks totaling 70.3 MWp strategically located across the country. 

In 2024, Engie Romania expanded its portfolio by acquiring an 80 MW operational wind farm and developing its first hybrid plant, combining wind and solar sources, with a total capacity of 57 MW.
