Rezolv Energy appoints seven partners to build the EU’s largest onshore renewable energy project

Three EPC partners, two high-voltage electrical infrastructure partners and two solar module suppliers appointed to deliver the 1.36GWp Dama Solar project in western Romania

The project will generate around 1,800 GWh of renewable electricity annually, equivalent to around 36% of Romania’s total solar electricity generation in 2025

Construction is moving forward following the signing of a financing package of up to €561 million from a consortium of 14 lenders

Bucharest, 12 November 2026 – Rezolv Energy, backed by Actis and Mubadala, has appointed seven companies to build Dama Solar, a 1.36GWp solar project in Arad County, western Romania. Once operational, Dama Solar will be the largest onshore renewable energy project in the European Union.

The partners have been appointed to deliver distinct parts of the project across three key areas. CHINT Green Energy, CMC Europe and Solarpro will undertake separate engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) packages, while EnergoBit and Siemens Energy will deliver the high-voltage electrical infrastructure. Tongwei and Astronergy will supply the solar modules.

The appointments mark a major milestone as Dama Solar moves into construction. At the end of  September 2026, Rezolv Energy, through its project subsidiary West Power Investments, signed a financing package of up to €561 million for the project. The financing was provided by a consortium of 14 lenders, underpinned by an anchor investment by the European Investment Bank (EIB).

About Dama Solar

Dama Solar is a 1.36GWp solar project located in Arad County, western Romania. Covering more than 1,000 hectares, the solar park is expected to generate around 1,800 GWh of renewable electricity annually – equivalent to around 36% of Romania’s total solar electricity generation in 2025[1].

The project is expected to enter commercial operations in the second half of 2028. It will create significant employment opportunities during construction, with a peak workforce of around 1,500 people.

Within the Dama Solar site, Rezolv Energy has set aside 82 hectares for a nature reserve on land that could otherwise have been developed for generation – one of the largest private-led nature restoration areas integrated into a solar project in Europe.

Dama Solar was awarded two contracts for difference (CfDs) by the Romanian Ministry of Energy in the country’s second CfD auction in August 2025, covering 520MW of the project’s capacity.

In October 2026, Rezolv Energy and Ahold Delhaize also signed a major 10-year Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) covering the supply of clean power from both Dama Solar and Rezolv Energy’s 300MW Dunarea East Wind Farm in Romania. The agreement was the first PPA signed for both Dama Solar and Dunarea East.

Ivan Jara Carrasco, Head of Solar & Storage at Rezolv Energy, said: “With seven partners working across different elements of the project, coordination will be critical. Our focus is on bringing their expertise together to ensure that the engineering, electrical infrastructure and module supply work seamlessly as we move through construction. This is a major undertaking, and we are looking forward to working closely with all seven partners to deliver it safely and efficiently.”

Alastair Hammond, CEO, Rezolv Energy, said: “Dama Solar will make a major contribution to reducing Romania’s emissions and strengthening its security of energy supply. Delivering a project of this scale requires a combination of international expertise, strong execution capabilities and reliable technology. We are pleased to be working with partners who bring the experience and capabilities needed to turn this project into reality.”

Dama Solar forms part of Rezolv Energy’s 2.8GW portfolio of large-scale renewable energy projects in Romania and Bulgaria. Launched in 2022, Rezolv Energy is an independent renewable energy producer backed by Actis and Mubadala, focused on developing, building and operating renewable energy projects across Central and Southeastern Europe.

[1] Based on data from Ember, Romania produced 4.96 TWh of electricity from solar in 2025. At 1.8 TWh per annum, Dama Solar is therefore 36.3% of this total.
