Italian renewable energy developer Alerion Clean Power has finished construction of the 32 MW Dănești solar power plant in Romania’s Călărași county. The project adds an additional operating asset to the company’s regional electricity generation portfolio.
Romanian engineering and construction firm Parapet delivered the development under a full engineering, procurement and construction contract. The scope covered design, equipment procurement, installation, testing and commissioning. The plant was developed for Conti Energie Verde, an Alerion subsidiary.
Dănești capacity, output and equipment details
Dănești is expected to generate approximately 52 GWh of electricity annually. The figure is described as equivalent to the average annual consumption of around 20,000 households. The installation occupies approximately 51 hectares.
The facility incorporates nearly 50,000 photovoltaic modules, each rated at 640 watts. The project’s estimated annual carbon dioxide emissions savings are approximately 24,000 tonnes. These figures are based on the developer’s projected operating performance and avoided-generation assumptions.
EPC package awarded in November 2025 and related projects
The completion is part of a broader package awarded by Alerion to Parapet in November 2025. That agreement covers seven solar developments in Romania and Italy with a combined installed capacity of approximately 80 MW.
The companies have also worked on the 51 MW Răcari solar plant in Dâmbovița county, completed earlier in 2026. For Parapet, the delivery strengthens its position in the regional EPC market where developers seek contractors able to manage engineering, construction, equipment coordination and final commissioning within a single contractual framework.
From construction completion to operating performance
For Alerion, Dănești adds operational production capacity that can support recurring electricity sales. The distinction between completed and operating capacity is presented as important for investors. Construction completion reduces delivery risk, while revenue performance depends on grid operation, electricity production, technical availability and commercial arrangements governing output sales.
Dănești is also cited as reflecting Italian renewable capital moving into Romania, where solar investment has attracted developers seeking opportunities beyond their domestic market. As additional solar capacity enters operation, managing electricity sales during high-production hours is described as increasingly important. For newly completed plants, construction performance is identified as only the first financial milestone, with longer-term value linked to how effectively generated electricity can be sold in a more competitive regional market.
