The Danish developer and operator of wind, photovoltaic and hybrid energy projects, Eurowind Energy, has successfully installed the first wind turbine in Pecineaga Park, in Constanța County. This stage marks an essential moment in the development of the 48 MW project, located in Constanța County, which is to be fully operational in 2025.
The wind turbine installed by Eurowind Energy is the first of a total of eight Siemens Gamesa SG 6.6-170 turbines, the largest type of wind electric generator in Romania. With a rotor diameter of 170 meters and a nominal capacity of 6.6 MW, this turbine represents the latest generation of wind energy technology. This model is also optimized to operate efficiently even in low wind conditions, thus maximizing power output.
After completion, the Pecineaga wind farm will contribute to the supply of 48,000 households with green energy and will generate an annual production of approximately 176,000 MWh. The project supports Eurowind Energy’s commitment to develop and operate renewable energy projects, contributing to the transition to a more sustainable economy and reducing carbon emissions.
“The installation of the first turbine in the Pecineaga wind farm represents an important moment for us and for the entire renewable energy sector in Romania. This phase of the project marks a new step towards fulfilling our commitment to provide sustainable energy solutions, thus supporting the transition to a green future.
“Siemens Gamesa SG 6.6-170 turbines, the most technologically advanced in Romania, will allow the Pecineaga wind farm to contribute significantly to the production of clean energy. Also, this project is a clear example of how investments in modern energy infrastructure can support not only the economic development of local regions, but also the achievement of environmental objectives at the national level,” said Adrian Dobre, Country Manager Romania within Eurowind Energy.
Prior to the installation of the first turbine, Eurowind Energy has completed all 8 foundations for the wind turbines, as well as essential infrastructure works, including access roads and the implementation of the medium voltage system, which will facilitate the efficient transport of the energy produced. The Danish developer is currently working on the construction of the link line, which will connect the wind farm to the national electricity grid via the transformer station.
