Rezolv Energy commissions 192 MW first phase of Vifor wind farm in Romania

Vifor project capacity and turbine configuration

Rezolv Energy has commissioned the 192 MW first phase of its Vifor wind farm in Romania. The project is located in Buzău County. The first phase uses 30 Vestas V162 EnVentus turbines, each rated at 6.4 MW.

A second phase is scheduled for completion in 2027, which would raise total project capacity to 461 MW. Commissioning of the first tranche brings that portion into operating generation. Completion of the remaining capacity in 2027 would expand the project’s contribution to Romania’s wind build-out.

Corporate power purchase agreements and contracted volumes

Vifor has secured six long-term corporate power purchase agreements covering more than 350 GWh annually. The counterparties include T-Mobile Czech Republic, Slovak Telekom, and CE Colo Czech Republic. Additional buyers are Bekaert, A2A, and Etem Gestamp.

The corporate contracts support long-term offtake arrangements for electricity generated by the wind farm. These agreements cover annual volumes exceeding the stated threshold. The commissioning of the first phase places the initial capacity under operating generation status.

Financing packages for first and second phases

The first phase obtained financing of up to €291 million from eight lenders. Erste Group, UniCredit Group, and the EBRD led the financing. Other lenders include IFC, Intesa Sanpaolo, OTP Bank, Raiffeisen Bank International, and Garanti BBVA Romania.

A further financing package of up to €331 million has been secured for the second phase. The staged funding aligns with the schedule for completion in 2027. With commissioning completed for the initial tranche, that investment moves into operating generation.

Romania wind market context and national target

Romania’s installed wind capacity remains slightly above 3 GW. The national target is 7.3 GW by 2030. The Vifor commissioning adds capacity to a sector that has seen limited expansion over the past decade.

The planned increase to 461 MW by 2027 would further affect the pace of additional wind capacity in Romania. The first phase is already commissioned at 192 MW, while remaining capacity is due by the end of the second-phase timeline.
