The Romanian solar market is poised for significant advancement as Waldevar Energy has finalized an agreement to construct a substantial solar facility for Entek Elektrik, a subsidiary of Turkey’s Tupras. This flagship project will boast a minimum installed capacity of 200 MW, marking a notable expansion in the country’s renewable energy landscape.
Waldevar Energy will undertake full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) responsibilities for the project, in addition to providing operations and maintenance services for the initial two years following its commercial launch. This comprehensive approach underscores Waldevar’s commitment to ensuring the project’s operational efficiency and longevity.
Located in Niculesti, the solar plant will be strategically positioned within southern Romania’s emerging renewable energy corridor. This development aligns with Entek Elektrik’s broader strategy to enhance its portfolio of low- and zero-carbon energy solutions in the region, further contributing to Romania’s energy transition goals.
This venture marks Waldevar’s largest EPC project to date and is part of an impressive pipeline that includes nearly 2.5 GW of contracted projects across Romania and other European markets. The company’s rapid ascent in the utility-scale solar sector reflects a growing demand for renewable energy solutions amid increasing regulatory support and investment in clean technologies.
Additionally, this agreement follows closely on the heels of Waldevar’s recent selection by Doral Group Renewable Energy Resources to execute EPC works for several smaller solar initiatives totaling 14 MW in Braila and Calarasi counties. These developments illustrate not only Waldevar’s expanding footprint but also the increasing interest in renewable energy infrastructure investments within Romania.
