Romania: PPC Renewables begins construction of largest wind farm in Moldova region with 140 MW capacity

PPC Renewables Romania has officially commenced construction on the Deleni wind farm in Vaslui County, set to become the largest renewable energy facility in the Moldova region, with an installed capacity of 140 MW. This significant project aims to connect to the electrical grid by the end of 2025.

The wind farm will feature 23 GE Vernova turbines, each with a capacity of 6.1 MW. This new technology significantly boosts power output, offering nearly three times the capacity of turbines used during the previous phase of wind energy development in Romania prior to 2012.

Romanian Minister of Energy Sebastian Burduja emphasized the project’s importance, stating it marks the first major wind energy initiative in the region. The Deleni wind farm is expected to deliver numerous benefits to the local community and enhance Romania’s energy security. The project will generate new jobs, contribute taxes and duties, and is anticipated to attract further investments to the area. Additionally, it will help diversify wind energy production across the country, moving away from the previously concentrated efforts in the Dobrogea region.

Once operational, the wind farm is projected to generate approximately 370 GWh of electricity annually, effectively reducing CO2 emissions by around 215,000 tons each year. This output will provide enough energy to power around 62,000 households, comparable to a city the size of Vaslui. Upon completion, PPC Renewables Romania’s total installed renewable energy capacity will reach approximately 1.5 GW, with a goal of exceeding 2 GW by the end of 2026.

With a total installed capacity of 4.7 GW across Greece and Romania, PPC Renewables continues to lead as the largest electricity supplier in Southeastern Europe, boasting a project pipeline of 20 GW planned for completion by 2030.
