Enexus and Astor Energy build 75 MW solar plant in Romania

Business Forum
Enexus has signed an EPC contract to develop a 75 MWp photovoltaic power plant in Alba Iulia with Compeador Construct, a subsidiary of Astor RO Energy, the Romanian investment vehicle of Turkish group Astor Enerji.

The project includes development of a 220 kV transformer substation (2×80 MVA), infrastructure for integrating the capacity into Romania's national transmission grid.

Romania's renewable energy market is experiencing growth while entering a phase focused on secure and efficient system integration.

"Projects that include high-voltage infrastructure and are designed with flexibility in mind will remain relevant over the long term. For Enexus, developing expertise in substations and grid connection infrastructure is a strategic direction," says Mesut Güler, CEO Enexus.

The project is being developed with Astor Enerji, a company listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange and a manufacturer of high-voltage equipment. The group has accelerated its regional expansion strategy and is strengthening its presence in Romania through renewable energy developments and energy infrastructure projects.

"Romania is a strategic market for our regional growth plans, and energy infrastructure will play a role in the years ahead. We were looking for a local partner capable of understanding both the complexity of the projects and the direction in which the renewable energy market is evolving," stated Fadil Fedai, Country Manager Astor. "We see energy as an entry point for cross-border investment. When projects are properly structured and delivered correctly, investors do not stop at a single asset," said Alina Ștefan, Chief Commercial Officer Enexus.
