Romania Eurowind Energy Korkia obtains hybrid solar and wind permits

Korkia announced that it has obtained grid connection permits (avize tehnice de racordare, or ATR) for its Iron Gates hybrid project portfolio in Caraș-Severin County, southwestern Romania. The permits were issued by Romania's transmission system operator Transelectrica. The portfolio comprises two hybrid projects with a total solar capacity of 273 megawatts and a total battery energy storage system capacity of 250 megawatts. Korkia stated that these permits help the project reach a construction-ready status by 2027. Michael Roussos, Country Manager for Korkia Romania, noted that as Romania modernizes its grid connection framework and imposes stricter requirements on developers, high-quality projects with advanced permitting status can stand out from a pipeline of speculative applications. Korkia revealed that with ATRs obtained for both the Alexandria and Iron Gates portfolios, it has advanced nearly 600 megawatts of solar capacity and over 550 megawatts of co-located BESS to a mature development stage.

Eurowind Energy Romania has obtained a construction permit for the Siminoc hybrid wind-solar park in Constanța County. The project has a total capacity of 49.6 megawatts, with 24.8 megawatts each from wind and solar, and is expected to generate approximately 120 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2027, with commissioning in 2028. The project will create jobs during both the construction and operational phases and contribute to the community budget through taxes and tariffs.

Eurowind Energy has set a target of a 1-gigawatt portfolio in Romania. Currently, the company operates solar power plants with a total capacity of 124 megawatts and one wind farm.
