STRATEGIC PHOTOVOLTAIC PROJECT – 50 MW

STRATEGIC PHOTOVOLTAIC PROJECT – 50 MW
Premium Renewable Energy Investment Opportunity
Galati County, Romania

In the context of accelerating the European energy transition and the continuous increase in investments in renewable energy, we present the opportunity to acquire a public utility photovoltaic project (Utility Scale) with a projected capacity of approximately 50 MW, located in Galati County – one of the areas with a high potential for the development of energy infrastructure in Romania.

The project is developed on an area of approximately 58 hectares, organized in four plots, under long-term use contracts, and is designed for an estimated annual production of approximately 68,850 MWh.

The site benefits from a strategic positioning in the proximity of the electricity transmission and distribution infrastructure, providing solid premises for the development of an industrial-scale production project and for future integration into the European energy market.

Main features
* Designed capacity: about 50 MWp
* Area: about 58 hectares
* Configuration: 4 plots
* Estimated annual production: approximately 68,850 MWh
* Location: Umbrărești commune, Galati county
* Coordinates: 45.7282471 N / 27.5355878 E
* Land rights secured by long-term contracts
* Current status: Mid Development
* Objective: Ready-to-Build (RTB)

Strategic advantages
Energy site of major interest

The project is located in an area where existing energy infrastructure and planned developments create excellent premises for investments in industrial-scale renewable energy production.

Utility Scale Platform

The size of the project recommends it to investment funds, independent power producers (IPPs), utility companies and institutional investors looking to develop renewable assets with a long-term perspective.
Favorable solar potential
The area benefits from suitable climatic conditions for the efficient exploitation of solar energy, contributing to obtaining a competitive annual production and optimizing the return on investment.
A rare competitive advantage: the possibility of developing a hybrid energy platform
An element that differentiates this project from most photovoltaic projects on the market is the existence, in the immediate vicinity, of an independent electricity storage project (BESS – Battery Energy Storage System), which is at an advanced stage of development and can be analyzed separately for a possible acquisition or integration.

What is a BESS system?
A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is an installation for storing electricity in industrial batteries, which allows:
* storage of energy produced during periods of surplus;
* energy delivery in higher price ranges;
* participation in balancing markets and system technology services;
* reduction of losses by limiting curtailment;
* increasing the flexibility and commercial value of a photovoltaic park.
The integration of a photovoltaic park with a BESS system is the direction in which large energy projects in Europe evolve, transforming a production plant into an energy platform capable of meeting the modern demands of the market.

Expandability
Interested investors can analyze, in addition to the acquisition of the photovoltaic project, the development of an integrated energy platform by associating with the BESS project in the immediate vicinity.
This storage project has the following features:
* Installed power: 19.5 MW;
* Storage capacity: 80 MWh;
* Favorable CTES Opinion issued by Transelectrica;
* Connection point located approximately 100 meters from the site;
* ATR being issued, according to the technical documentation.  

By integrating the two projects, the investor can develop a hybrid energy platform, capable of combining energy production and storage, increasing operational flexibility and diversifying revenue sources through access to balancing markets and ancillary services.

Stage of development
The photovoltaic project has passed the concept stage and is in the process of development towards Ready-to-Build (RTB) status.
The steps taken include:
* identifying and securing land;
* defining the technical configuration;
* production estimation;
* initiation of commercial structuring, including discussions on a possible PPA;
* continuation of the authorization and connection process.

Investment opportunity
The project is recommended for:
* Infrastructure investment funds;
* Utility companies;
* Independent Power Producers (IPP);
* Energy traders;
* International renewable energy developers;
* Institutional investors;
* European platforms specialized in renewable energy.

Commercial information
* Capacity: 50 MWp;
* Stage: Mid Development;
* Target: Ready-to-Build (RTB);

This project offers the opportunity to invest in a public utility PV asset with high development potential and, optionally, to create a hybrid energy platform in the future by integrating a BESS storage capacity in the immediate vicinity – a combination increasingly sought after by institutional investors and energy operators in Europe.
