Eurowind Energy Romania has advanced the Pecineaga wind project into its testing phase, bringing the development closer to full commercial operation. This follows the successful commissioning of both the transformer substation and the wind turbines, marking a key step toward final technical validation.
During this phase, project teams will verify that all core systems are operating correctly and safely. The focus will be on testing equipment reliability, ensuring proper system integration, and confirming that the wind farm is ready for commissioning and eventual operation.
The project has a total installed capacity of 48 MW and represents an investment of around 90 million euros, making it one of the more important developments in Eurowind Energy’s Romanian portfolio. It also signals that the project is nearing the stage where it can begin delivering electricity into the national grid.
The wind farm is equipped with eight Siemens Gamesa SG 6.6-170 turbines, currently the largest turbine model installed in Romania. Each turbine has a capacity of 6.6 MW and features a 170-meter rotor designed for high efficiency even under low wind conditions.
In the next phase, the turbines will undergo commissioning by the manufacturer, followed by a series of technical inspections before the facility is officially handed over. The project will then complete performance testing in coordination with Romania’s transmission system operator.
Once fully operational, the wind farm is expected to generate approximately 176 GWh of electricity annually, enough to supply around 48,000 households. This will contribute to increasing Romania’s renewable energy output and strengthening the overall share of clean energy in the national power mix.
