CEZ to finalize wind park in Dobrogea in 2011

CEZ will finalize next year the second stage of the wind park in Dobrogea, Cogealac. “Next year, the park will have 600 MW. We currently have an installed capacity of 300 MW. We have started works on the second stage of the project, in Cogealac, and we'll finalize works in a year,” said Adrian Vorotea, head of corporate affairs of CEZ Romania. CEZ' wind park North of Constanta is being developed in two stages. The first, located in Fantanele, includes 139 wind turbines with a capacity of 347 MW and should be connected by the end of 2010. The second stage, in Cogealac, should be finalized in 2011.

CEZ has already started producing energy in 100 wind turbines which are connected to the grid. CEZ bought the wind park in Dobrogea from Continental Wind Partners in 2008. This will be the largest wind park in Europe, with an expected investment of EUR 1.1 billion. Romania-insider.com
