Parapet secures major Alerion contracts for solar parks

Business Forum
Parapet, the Romanian EPC contractor specialising in renewable energy, has announced the signing of seven new contracts with Italian green energy company, Alerion.

The projects, which include sites in both Romania (Teleorman and Călărași counties) and Italy (Puglia and Tuscany regions), will see Parapet install a combined capacity of nearly 80.8 MWp of photovoltaics.

The total portfolio of projects—named Sass Maor, Ambiez, Dănești, Sant'Agata, Torremaggiore, Gavorrano, and Grottole Verga—involves the installation of approximately 120,000 bifacial photovoltaic modules. These will cover an extensive area of 110 hectares, with most installation works expected to be completed next year.

A key highlight of the collaboration is the Sant'Agata site in Italy. This photovoltaic plant will be connected to an existing 20 MW wind farm, creating a hybrid energy project that combines solar and wind technologies.

The collective capacity is projected to generate over 150 GWh of green electricity annually, which will be fed into the national grids in Romania and Italy, contributing to an annual reduction of carbon emissions by more than 45,000 tons.

Andrada Moldovan, CEO of Parapet, said: " We now have the internal capability to deliver complete renewable projects — from site setup to commissioning and grid connection. We expect a significant expansion of our portfolio in Italy and Germany, while continuing to grow our presence in Romania."

Parapet's international expansion has been steady, with the company already opening an Italian branch and signing contracts worth approximately €5 million across six Italian regions. Since its establishment in 2012, Parapet has reached over 2 GW of installed clean energy across 15 European countries.
