E.ON Energie România and Samus TEC Dej have signed a strategic partnership worth about one million euro that entails building one of the most important photovoltaic energy generation systems in Romania.
Thus, E.ON will build a photovoltaic plant with an installed capacity of 1,108 kWp that will annually produce about 1,250 MWh of electricity from renewable sources. That’s how the Samus TEC company, one of the main players on the Romanian construction market, can provide annually between 8 and 10% of its electricity needs.
“Each new partnership for photovoltaic power generation systems motivates us to go further on the path of sustainability. It is a path we have taken and we know that the future can only be thought from this perspective. Therefore, we want our green energy production solutions to be implemented by as many partners as possible,” said Cătălin Iordache, general manager of E.ON Energie Romania.
“We have continuously invested in modern technological equipment, with integrated production flows, able to make products at international standards, environmentally friendly. Therefore, the investment in a park of photovoltaic panels is a natural approach meant to streamline production processes, by reducing electricity costs and to be an integrating part of the European and national effort to create a greener future,” also said Ioan Tecar, CEO of Samus TEC.
E.ON will install 3,360 photovoltaic modules on the roof of a hall in Dej on an area of approximately 10,000 square meters. The benefits of the project are not limited to the amount of electricity produced from solar energy and taken over for self-consumption, which also means protecting the environment by reducing pollution. Annually, the Dej company will reduce CO2 emissions by over 394 tons, and radioactive waste – by 3.75 kg.
Since 2018, E.ON has developed over 120 solar energy production projects for customers in various sectors of the economy. About 25,000 photovoltaic panels have already been installed for 58 companies in the best performing industries. With the completion of the projects currently under development, the total production of photovoltaic energy will reach 30,000 MWh per year, and CO2 emissions will be reduced by 8,800 tons per year.
