The Romanian Energy Regulatory Authority (ANRE) has issued the setting-up authorisation for the first phase of the 450MW ‘VIFOR’ wind farm in Buzău County, Romania. The project is being developed by Rezolv and Low Carbon.
The setting-up authorisation is the final approval required, with construction work at the site to begin very shortly. The construction phase will be completed in approximately 18 months.
Once operational, VIFOR will cover a total area of 2,869 hectares. The project will generate enough clean energy to power more than 270,000 homes and will avoid approximately 180,000 tonnes of CO2e annually.
Marian Pavel, Rezolv Energy’s General Manager Romania, said: “VIFOR may be the smallest of Rezolv’s projects in Romania but it will still a very large wind farm which will help reduce Romania’s dependence on fossil fuels, enhance the country’s energy security and improve air quality. The setting-up authorisation, the largest wind farm project approved by ANRE in the last few years, is a big milestone because it moves us straight into the construction phase. We therefore remain on track to bring the project onstream before the end of 2025, which is good news – both for Rezolv and for Romania.”
