Romanian oil and gas company OMV Petrom has opened a tender for the development of a solar project with a planned installed capacity of 710 MW.
Theia project will involve the construction of a solar farm split into three individual PV parks in Babaita commune, in the county of Teleorman, the company said in a press release. The parks will be connected to the existing Slatina-Bucuresti 400 kV overhead line, owned by transmission system operator Transelectrica.
The project is split into four lots, and companies qualified in engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) have until April 18 to place their bids for one or more lots.
The construction of the solar farm is expected to take two years.
OMV Petrom acquired the 710 MW solar park project from Danish green energy projects developer Jantzen Renewables last year. The company aims to have at least 1 GW of installed renewable capacity by 2030.
