A major renewable energy project in Romania has reached an important financing milestone, as Kraftfeld Energy completed both equity and debt arrangements for a new hybrid facility combining solar generation and battery storage.
The project, named Maruntei–Vest and located in Olt County, will include 61 MW of solar capacity together with a 100 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). Construction is already underway, with engineering and construction works being carried out jointly by ENEVO Group and Vertex Energy.
As part of the financing structure, Vertex Energy has entered the project as a minority shareholder, acquiring a 49% stake, while Kraftfeld Energy retains majority ownership. In parallel, the Austrian developer secured €50.4 million in project financing arranged by Kommunalkredit.
The Olt-based development represents Kraftfeld Energy’s second major investment move in Romania within a short period. It follows the earlier financing of the Gârla Mare 2 solar project, which has an installed capacity of 126 MW.
Together, the two projects are expected to add nearly 190 MW of solar capacity and around 300 MWh of storage to Romania’s power system, strengthening the country’s renewable generation base and flexibility in grid operations.
