Greenvolt is expanding its Romanian commercial solar footprint using fully financed power-purchase agreements, according to project details. Greenvolt Next Romania is developing 11 commercial self-consumption solar projects in the Dobrogea region, adding approximately 2.5 MW of distributed photovoltaic capacity.
The portfolio is described as an investment of around €1.6 million and involves companies across eight industries. Greenvolt will finance, install and operate the systems, while participating customers buy the electricity produced at a predetermined price.
The electricity supply arrangements are set out under contracts lasting between five and ten years. Under the structure, ownership of the installations transfers to customers without an additional payment after the contract term ends.
Contract structure and expected generation share
The agreements are designed to let participating businesses reduce electricity expenditure without allocating their own capital to construction. Greenvolt estimates the systems will provide an average of approximately 70% of each customer’s electricity consumption.
Across the contract period, combined savings are expected to exceed €1.8 million. Annual carbon emissions reductions are estimated at around 1,255 tonnes.
The project information also notes that some sites require additional engineering work before photovoltaic equipment can be installed. Examples include reinforcement of roof structures and adaptation of buildings, which contribute to differences in CAPEX between similar commercial solar projects.
Largest developments for Dobrogea Group and hospitality sites
Two of the largest installations, with combined capacity of nearly 795 kW, are being developed for food producer Dobrogea Group. The company is expected to save more than €150,000 in electricity costs during the agreements.
Greenvolt has also installed two systems totalling approximately 185 kW for La Scoica Land Hotel and La Scoica Pizzeria. The projected savings at the two hospitality sites are close to €200,000.
Portfolio economics and risk allocation under Greenvolt Next model
The stated investment implies an average cost of approximately €640,000 per MW across the portfolio. The information says this level is competitive for distributed commercial solar, while project outcomes depend on factors including customer credit quality and consumption profiles.
Greenvolt Next Romania contract pipeline and customer exposure
The company has signed Romanian contracts covering 38.7 MW, with 19.2 MW already operational. Greenvolt Next Romania supplies more than 140 commercial customers.
The model described in the project information transfers construction and performance risk away from customers while retaining long-term exposure to the offtaker. It also frames the shift for industrial and commercial users from capital investment toward contracted operating expenditure.
