Power producer Electrica has finalized and commissioned a photovoltaic park with a capacity of 27 MW in Satu Mare county, following an investment of around  RON 20 million (€4.02 million).

We will continue to develop similar projects that allow us to increase our renewable energy production capacities, reduce our carbon footprint, and strengthen Romania's position in the energy transition," says Alexandru Chiriță, CEO of Electrica.
