Located in Romania’s Buzau county in the communes of Costesti, Gheraseni, Smeeni, Pogoanele, Luciu, Tintesti, and Cilibia, the VIFOR project site is ideal for wind farm development.
The land is well draining, extremely flat and crossed with existing agricultural roads and tracks. There is also confirmed capacity for grid access in close proximity to the site.
When Rezolv decided to invest in the project in 2022, it was selected for its proximity to the Carpathian Mountains (12km to the north-west), which give rise to higher wind yields. To maximise the potential for power generation, the project will benefit from the latest technology, including best-in-class turbines and high voltage (400 kV) overhead lines, allowing for an economically efficient connection.
The utility-scale project will provide 450MW of renewable power for commercial, industrial and other off-takers across Romania and Central and South Eastern Europe, helping these organisations to access a more secure, stable and clean energy supply.
Ahead of construction, 100% of land rights for the project have been secured through joint-venture agreements with the local authorities of the seven communes where the site is located. We look forward to working closely with the local community through our community investment initiatives.
VIFOR will become one of Romania’s largest generators of onshore wind power and make a significant contribution towards the country’s 2030 EU renewable energy targets. Initial interest from potential off-takers has also been strong.
Pre-construction activities are currently underway.
