ENGIE Romania announces the completion of the construction and commissioning of the sixth photovoltaic park in its portfolio, located in the commune of Ariceștii Rahtivani, Prahova County. With an installed capacity of 37.2 MWp, this project marks a new important step in expanding renewable energy production and strengthening the company’s commitment to the energy transition.
With this investment, ENGIE Romania’s total installed capacity in renewable energy reaches 248 MW, reflecting the company’s sustainable development strategy.
The Ariceștii Rahtivani photovoltaic park covers an area of 57 hectares and has an estimated annual green electricity production of 57 GWh, equivalent to the annual consumption of over 31,000 households. By generating renewable energy, the project significantly contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions, avoiding approximately 5,056 tons of emissions annually and 177,000 tons over the entire life of the plant.
“The commissioning of the Ariceștii Rahtivani photovoltaic park confirms our commitment to accelerate the development of renewable energy production and to actively contribute to the energy transition through sustainable investments. This project strengthens our position on the Romanian market, which has significant potential in the field of renewable energies and also contributes to achieving the objective of having an installed green energy production capacity of 1,000 MW by 2030,” said Cristian Buzan, Deputy General Manager of ENGIE Romania.
ENGIE Romania currently operates renewable energy production assets with a total installed capacity of 248 MW. The company owns three wind farms with a capacity of 178 MW, as well as six photovoltaic farms with a capacity of 70.3 MWp, strategically located in various regions of the country.
In 2024, the company expanded its portfolio by acquiring an operational wind farm with a capacity of 80 MW and developing the first hybrid power plant in the portfolio, which combines wind and solar sources, with a total capacity of 57 MW.
