Out of this, almost 917MW are for PV parks and 165MW for wind farms, Profit.ro reported.

The largest project consists of a 301MW photovoltaic park designed to be located on land in the communes of Predești and Brabova in Dolj county. The developer is controlled by the Italian entrepreneur from Timișoara Simone Beraudo, who has businesses in real estate and the distribution of radiant heating systems.
