Romania bids to replace coal with 455 MW of solar power

Romania

Eight companies and consortia are taking part in the tenders for the construction and operation of four solar parks on land of the Romanian state-owned coalmine and power plant operated by Complexul Energetic Oltenia.

The aim is to replace the coalmine and power plant with solar and gas-fired power stations. Romania plans to phase out coal combustion by 2032. In December 2021, CE Oltenia joined forces with OMV Petrom as partners in joint ventures for photovoltaic plants with a total peak capacity of 455 MW. The oil and gas company has developed an ambitious decarbonization plan.
