Green Breeze Wind Farm in eastern Romania has reached a major development milestone after the successful commissioning of its 220 kV transformer substation in Frumușița, enabling the project to connect to the national electricity transmission system ahead of full commercial operation.
The wind farm, located in Galați County, was developed by Swedish renewable energy company OX2 for Nala Renewables, a joint venture backed by commodity trading firm Trafigura and IFM Investors.
Project partners confirmed that the commissioning of the Frumușița substation marks a key stage in the project’s completion, allowing future electricity exports into Romania’s national transmission grid. Full commercial operation is expected within the coming months. The facility has an installed capacity of 99.2 MW and consists of 16 Vestas V162-6.2 MW turbines, positioning it among the significant new wind developments in the region.
Once fully operational, the wind farm is expected to generate approximately 312 GWh of electricity annually, sufficient to supply around 51,000 households. Developers also estimate that the project will reduce CO₂ emissions by about 150,000 tons per year, reinforcing its role in Romania’s ongoing energy transition.
Construction began in late 2024 after Nala Renewables acquired the project from OX2 earlier that year. Under the agreement, OX2 remained responsible for construction and operational delivery, while Nala Renewables retained investment oversight. The transaction also included a 12-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with a multinational corporate offtaker, providing long-term revenue stability.
Financing for the project was secured through Erste Group and its Romanian subsidiary Banca Comercială Română, highlighting continued strong bank appetite for utility-scale renewable assets in Central and Eastern Europe.
Green Breeze Wind Farm represents the first fully completed renewable energy project by OX2 in Romania, where the company is simultaneously developing a broader pipeline of projects totaling approximately 1,100 MW, signaling continued expansion of wind capacity in the country.
