Danish renewables developer Eurowind Energy has installed the first wind turbine at its Pecineaga wind farm in Constanta County, marking a significant step in the development of the 48 MW project, which is set to be fully operational by 2025. This initial turbine is one of eight Siemens Gamesa SG 6.6-170 turbines planned for the site, representing the largest wind turbine model currently in Romania. With a rotor diameter of 170 meters and a capacity of 6.6 MW, this turbine incorporates cutting-edge wind energy technology, designed to perform optimally even in low-wind conditions, thereby maximizing energy output.
Once completed, the Pecineaga wind farm will provide green energy to approximately 48,000 households, producing around 176,000 MWh of electricity annually. The project aligns with Eurowind Energy’s commitment to renewable energy development and its contribution to the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Before installing the first turbine, Eurowind Energy completed all eight turbine foundations, constructed access roads, and implemented a medium-voltage system to ensure efficient energy transport. Currently, work is underway on the connection line that will link the wind farm to the national electricity grid through a transformer station.
In April, Eurowind Energy secured a 65.33 million euros credit facility to fund the construction of the Pecineaga wind farm, which will have a total installed capacity of 48 MW. Banca Comerciala Romana (BCR) and Erste Group Bank are jointly financing the investment loan, with each contributing 32.66 million euros. The credit facility matures by the end of 2040 and covers 70% of the total development costs of the Pecineaga wind farm. Additionally, the two banks are providing Eurowind Energy with a package worth 18 million euros, including a VAT facility and other financial products to support the Pecineaga project.
