The plant will comprise approximately 70,676 photovoltaic panels, each with a nominal capacity of 650 Wp, connected via 184 three-phase inverters to 9 collector transformer substations. It will have an installed capacity of 45.94 MWp and an estimated annual output of 59.21 GWh/year. The total contract duration is 36 months, of which 24 months represent the actual execution period.
"The signing of this contract marks another concrete step in Hidroelectrica's transformation from a purely hydropower producer into an integrated player in Romania's green energy sector. Tudor Vladimirescu is not just a solar park-it is a clear signal that Hidroelectrica is evolving. We aim to remain relevant in Romania's energy landscape of tomorrow, not just that of today," stated Bogdan-Nicolae Badea, CEO of Hidroelectrica.
The award procedure was conducted entirely electronically via the SEAP platform (e-licitație.ro), with the award criterion being the best value for money, weighted 80% for the financial component and 20% for the extended technical warranty period offered beyond the minimum 60 months required under the tender specifications.
