Maramureș International Airport in northern Romania has submitted a funding application for a renewable energy project aimed at fully covering the facility’s electricity needs. The proposed initiative includes the installation of a 2.5 MW solar power plant combined with battery storage to ensure reliable and sustainable energy supply.
A key feature of the project is a Carport-style solar array that will also function as a covered parking area for up to 300 vehicles. The system will consist of 5,943 solar panels, each rated at 430 watts, and will be supported by 25 inverters with a capacity of 100 kW each.
Valued at approximately 12 million euros, the project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. If approved and implemented, it would significantly enhance the airport’s energy independence and contribute to Romania’s broader goals for clean energy transition.
