The Mayor of the Romanian city of Brasov Allen Coliban signed the contract for the design and construction of a 20 MW solar photovoltaic park that will ensure energy independence for public consumption. The investment amounts to over 75 million RON (15 million euros) without VAT and is partly covered by European funds.
The green electricity production facility, developed on 22 hectares, will cover 90% of the needs for schools, public buildings and public lighting.
The works will be carried out by Synergy Construct (project leader), Else Enerji Anonim Sirketi (third party), Graphein Topo (subcontractor), ZOORK (subcontractor), and Eds Electric SRL (subcontractor). The investment should be implemented in 120 days, namely 30 days for the design and 90 days for the construction.
Mayor Allen Coliban said this is the most important objective in BraÈ™ov’s strategy to become an energy-independent city.
“In 2021, we took on an ambitious target: by 2030, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 55%, and by 2050 to achieve climate neutrality. We are definitely on the right track, and every step we take means an increase in the quality of life of the people of BraÈ™ov,” he said.
The solar plant will have 30,770 photovoltaic panels, with a peak electric power of 650 Wp, installed on a fixed structure.
