Renewables developer Photon Energy has connected to the network a 3.8 MWp Bocsa solar power plant, which is its tenth solar facility in Romania.
Photon’s in-house EPC team built it by assembling 6,160 bifacial solar modules on single-axis trackers on a site spanning 5.6 hectares of greenfield land, the company said in a press release.
The solar farm will generate around 5.9 GWh of electricity annually. Its output will be fed into the grid managed by E-Distributie Banat and sold on the energy market on a merchant basis.
Photon Energy Group will own and operate the solar farm through a special-purpose vehicle.
With Bocsa, Photon’s independent power producer portfolio has expanded to 39.1 MWp in Romania, with global capacity reaching 131.1 MWp, according to the group’s CEO Georg Hotar.
The company has around 220 MWp in the Romanian pipeline, including some 12.4 MWp of projects in advanced stages of construction.
