Enel gets grid permits for 513 MW of Romania wind projects - report

Renewables firm Enel Green Power has obtained grid connection permits for 513 MW of wind farm projects in Romania just as its parent company, Italian utility Enel SpA (BIT:ENEL), is preparing to exit the market.

Romanian business news outlet Profit.ro broke the news this week, reporting that the company secured permits to connect four wind farms in Caras Severin county, in the western part of Romania.

The estimated deadline to complete and commission two wind farms is set for the end of 2026. The other pair should be up and running at the end of 2028, Profit.ro reported.

Enel Green Power Romania operates some 534 MW of wind and solar capacity in the country, according to the firm’s website.

Earlier this year, Enel secured a deal to sell its Romanian business, which includes more than renewables, to Greek power utility PPC SA (ATH:PPC) for EUR 1.26 billion (USD 1.35bn). The transaction was seen to be finalised by the third quarter.
