Romania: DRI connects 60 MW Glodeni II solar plant to grid, expands renewable portfolio

DRI, a subsidiary of the Ukrainian DTEK Group, has achieved a significant milestone in Romania with the connection of the Glodeni II solar power plant to the national grid and the commencement of electricity deliveries to the country’s transmission operator. With Glodeni II now operational, DRI has three active projects in Romania, collectively contributing 173 MW of renewable energy capacity.

Located in Mures County, the Glodeni II solar power plant has a capacity of 60 MW and is expected to produce 86.4 GWh of electricity annually. This amount of energy will be enough to meet the needs of approximately 22,400 households and will help reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 21,800 tons each year. When combined with Glodeni I, which has a capacity of 53 MW, the two plants make up one of Romania’s largest solar facilities.

DRI has already secured a major off-take agreement for the plants’ output, with 62% of the electricity generated by Glodeni I and II being sold to OMV Petrom under Romania’s largest solar power purchase agreement (PPA), signed in December. DRI is also open to collaborations with new partners for further renewable energy sales.

In addition to the Glodeni projects, DRI operates the 60 MW Ruginoasa wind farm in Iasi County, which began operations in December 2023. This project marked the first new wind farm built in Romania in over a decade. Looking forward, DRI is starting work on its fourth project, a 126 MW solar power plant in Vacaresti, Dambovita County.

Across its priority markets, DRI has a portfolio of 1.4 GW of renewable energy projects that are either operational, under construction, or in various stages of development.
