The son of Romania national football team head coach Victor Piturca will invest between EUR 1.3 and EUR 1.5 million in a solar power station in Olt county, south eastern Romania.

Victorio-Alexandru Piturca will back the photovoltaic park, which will have a power capacity of up to one MW.

The photovoltaic panels will be installed on a 20,000 sqm plot in Piatra Olt, Olt county.

Started a year ago, the park is set for completion within a month.

“The investment is partly financed by a loan from Garanti Bank, while the rest comes from our own funds,” said Alexandru Piturca, quoted by local news agency Mediafax.

The project is developed by PAV Green Energy Bucharest, a company fully owned by Piturca, while the produced energy will be sold through Renovatio Trading.

Alexandru Piturca is also a retired Romanian footballer who played for several football teams in Romania, such as Steaua Bucuresti and Universitatea Craiova.
