Project status and permitting timeline
Eurowind Energy is advancing plans for a 288 MW wind farm in Romania’s Iasi County, with the project entering the final stages of permitting. The investment is estimated at around €450 million. The development is located in the commune of Movileni and is being developed through Wind Asset.
The project received technical approval for connection to Romania’s National Energy System in August 2025. After the remaining permits are secured, construction is expected to take approximately three years. Electricity from the facility would be delivered to the national grid. The current design does not include battery energy storage.
Turbine configuration and expected output
The wind farm will use 40 Vestas wind turbines rated at 7.2 MW each. The planned layout includes 30 V172 turbines with 172-meter rotor diameters and 10 V162 turbines with 162-meter rotors. Turbine heights are expected to range from approximately 221 to 252 meters. The facility is designed for an operating life of 35 years.
Annual electricity generation is projected at 630,000–757,000 MWh. That output is described as sufficient to cover consumption of approximately 350,000–420,000 households. The project’s power would be exported to the national grid without battery storage under the current configuration.
Grid connection infrastructure and local impact assessments
The development includes two substations, including a 110/220 kV facility that is ultimately expected to be transferred to Romanian transmission system operator Transelectrica. Additional requirements apply to turbines positioned near built-up areas. Three turbines planned within 500 meters of built-up areas will require assessments covering noise and shadow flicker.
The closest turbine is expected to be located approximately 253 meters from the boundary of Movileni village. Operating restrictions or turbine relocation could be required if the project does not meet applicable regulatory thresholds. Eurowind Energy has operated in Romania since 2011 and currently manages around 184 MW of renewable energy capacity in the country, including a 60 MW energy storage facility in Teius.
