Today, Enel Green Power commenced operation of its first wind farm in Romania, the “Agighiol” plant, located in Valea Nucarilor municipality, close to Tulcea city, a message from the company says. The new wind farm consists of 17 turbines with a capacity of 2 MW each, for a total installed capacity of 34 MW. With an annual production of around 100 million kWh, it will be able to meet the energy needs of over 35,000 households while avoiding the emission of 70,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, the company announced.
“With this first wind farm we see the start of Enel Green Power’s generation capacity in Romania” stated Francesco Starace, CEO of Enel Green Power. “We have a good list of projects that are entering the construction phase, and will substantially increase our presence in the country in the next two years.”
Wind power is the most promising renewable technology in the Romanian power sector, a message from the company points out. The country’s installed wind capacity is set to reach 600 MW by 2010, from 14 MW at the end of 2009. Such capacity is expected to total about 3600 MW by 2015. Enel Group itself is present in Romania since 2005 and is currently the most important private investor in the Romanian electricity sector, reaching about 2.6 million customers, operating 93000 km of distribution networks and employing approximately 5000 people.
