- The photovoltaic park will have a capacity of ~7 MW and cover ~110,000 square meters.
- The project budget is up to RON 45.4 million, with RON 8.4 million from the Modernisation Fund.
- Construction is expected to start shortly and finish this year.
- The park supports green hydrogen production for the future SAF/HVO unit.
Project Overview
OMV Petrom is developing a photovoltaic park at the Petrobrazi refinery with an installed capacity of approximately 7 MW. The park will supply renewable energy for the refinery's internal consumption, covering an area of about 110,000 square meters.
Financial Details
The project has a budget of up to RON 45.4 million, including VAT, with RON 8.4 million co-financed through the Modernisation Fund. This investment is part of OMV Petrom's broader efforts to enhance sustainability and operational efficiency.
Construction Timeline
Construction and installation works are expected to commence shortly, with completion anticipated within the year. The project involves acquiring necessary equipment and materials, as well as integrating the facility into the refinery's electrical infrastructure.
Decarbonization Efforts
This initiative supports the refinery's decarbonization goals, including the production of green hydrogen for the upcoming sustainable fuels (SAF/HVO) unit. The photovoltaic park will contribute to reducing the refinery's carbon footprint by utilizing renewable power sources.
