Siminoc Project Marks a Milestone for Renewable Energy in Romania
Eurowind Energy România has received the construction permits for the Siminoc wind and solar park, marking a significant step in the country’s renewable energy landscape. This project is notable for being the first hybrid wind-solar park developed by the company in Romania.
Located in Constanța County, the Siminoc project represents an estimated investment of around 65 million euros. It aims to deliver a combined installed capacity of approximately 49.6 MW, equally split between its wind and solar components, each providing about 24.8 MW.
The annual energy output is projected to be around 120 GWh, which is enough to cover the consumption of over 50,000 households. The project will benefit from support through the Contracts for Difference (CfD) mechanism, ensuring its financial viability.
The timeline for the Siminoc project includes permitting and obtaining construction authorization in the first half of 2026, with construction set to commence in 2027. The operational launch is planned for 2028, aligning with Romania's growing commitment to renewable energy.
Adrian Dobre, Country Manager at Eurowind Energy România, emphasizes the company's local ambition to reach 1 GW of capacity by 2030. The investment plan indicates approximately one billion euros will be allocated in the next four years to expand renewable energy capacity further.
Since its entry into the Romanian market in 2011, Eurowind Energy România has built a strong portfolio, including four operational solar parks: Hălchiu, Măgurele, Pufești, and Teiuș. The company currently has a pipeline of about 7.5 GW in various development stages, with plans to achieve operational capacity of 184 MW in Romania by the end of Q2 2026, which will include 60 MW of battery storage from Teiuș.
As a subsidiary of the Danish company Eurowind Energy A/S, founded in 2006 and operating in 16 markets across Europe and the United States, Eurowind Energy România is poised to play a vital role in advancing Romania's renewable energy goals.
