Eurowind Energy Romania is progressing with the Pecineaga wind project, which has recently entered its testing phase. This marks a significant milestone as the project approaches full commercial operation following the successful commissioning of its transformer substation and wind turbines.
During the testing phase, project teams will ensure that all core systems function correctly and safely. The emphasis will be on assessing equipment reliability, verifying system integration, and confirming readiness for commissioning and subsequent operational phases.
The wind farm boasts a total installed capacity of 48 MW, representing an investment of approximately 90 million euros. This development is one of the key projects within Eurowind Energy’s Romanian portfolio and indicates that the facility is nearing readiness to supply electricity to the national grid.
Equipped with eight Siemens Gamesa SG 6.6-170 turbines, this wind farm features the largest turbine model currently installed in Romania. Each turbine has a capacity of 6.6 MW and is designed with a 170-meter rotor, optimized for high efficiency even in low wind conditions.
The next steps involve commissioning by the manufacturer, followed by a series of technical inspections before the facility is officially transferred. Performance testing will also be conducted in collaboration with Romania’s transmission system operator.
Upon achieving full operational status, the Pecineaga wind farm is projected to generate around 176 GWh of electricity annually, sufficient to power approximately 48,000 households. This output will enhance Romania’s renewable energy capacity and contribute to increasing the share of clean energy in the national energy mix.
