PPC Renewables expands with new wind project in Romania

Green Forum
PPC Renewables Romania has started the construction works of the Deleni wind farm, located in Vaslui County, which will become the largest renewable energy production plant in Moldova, with an installed capacity of 140 MW.

The wind power plant, which is scheduled to be connected to the grid by the end of 2025, will be equipped with 23 GE Vernova turbines, each with a capacity of 6.1 MW. The power output of the turbines is almost three times that of those installed in the previous phase of massive wind energy development in Romania until 2012.

The park will generate around 370 GWh of electricity annually, avoiding CO2 emissions of around 215,000 tons annually and providing enough energy to power the equivalent of 62,000 households, equivalent to a city the size of Vaslui.

The wind turbines will be installed on land belonging to the localities of Deleni, Costești, and Bogdănești, while the 400/220/110 kV interconnection substation will be located in Banca. The infrastructure in the area will provide access to the connecting roads through the park.

Upon completion of the project, the total installed renewable energy capacity of PPC Renewables Romania will reach about 1.5 GW. PPC Group plans to exceed 2 GW of renewable energy production units in Romania by the end of 2026.
