A new wind farm with an installed capacity of 140 MW at Deleni in Vaslui province in eastern Romania has added to the organic growth of the PPC Group's RES portfolio.
The new wind farm, which has entered the construction phase with PPC Renewables, consists of 23 GE Vernova wind turbines, each with a nominal capacity of 6.1 MW, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. Given the rich wind potential of eastern Romania, the estimated annual production of the park is estimated at 370 GWh, capable of meeting the needs of about 62,000 households.
Once operational, the new plant is expected to prevent CO2 emissions of 215,000 metric tons annually. PPC Renewables already manages a portfolio of existing projects in Romania with a total capacity of more than 700 MW. Upon completion of the new project, the total installed capacity of PPC Renewables in the country will reach approximately 850 MW. The PPC Group is a dynamic participant in Romania's energy transformation, contributing to the increase in the installed capacity of renewable energy projects. By the end of 2026, PPC Group's RES in the country will exceed 2 GW through the implementation of a significant investment program, making PPC Group a leader in the Romanian RES market.
PPC Group is an energy leader in South-Eastern Europe. Already, it has established an existing portfolio of RES projects with a total installed capacity of 4.7 GW in Greece and Romania and will have a total RES development portfolio of 20 GW by 2030. PPC Renewables is a wholly owned subsidiary of PPC and invests in the power of nature through renewable energy generation and energy storage. In addition to its large-scale photovoltaic and wind projects, the company is innovating in the SEE market through projects covering the full range of renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, and biomass).
