Carrying out the maintenance works of energy production facilities from renewable sources is essential to ensure the correct operation of the equipment for the entire designed lifetime, said Elena Popescu, CEO of Elektra Renewable Support, during the conference “Energy efficiency for the energy transition – Oradea”, organized in Oradea by Energynomics together with the Romanian Fund for Energy Efficiency – FREE and the Directorate for Energy Efficiency within the Ministry of Energy.

“We are all interested in having long-term projects, not having an investment that will die in two or five years, but a 10-15-20-year project. It all depends on the operation and maintenance programs. If we take care of maintenance, we will have more and more,” said Popescu.

The company provides complete operational solutions for renewable energy projects and specializes in wind and photovoltaic power plants. Elecktra Renewable Support operates over 400 MW installed in renewable units in Europe and Romania.

The company has developed solutions for green energy projects with a total generation capacity of over 900 MW, of which over 350 MW are in monitoring, operation and maintenance and over 450 MW under development.

According to data from the Ministry of Finance, last year the company had a turnover of 12.4 million lei, 42.5% higher compared to the level of 8.7 million lei in 2021, and a net profit of 0.3 million lei, compared to 0.9 million lei in 2021.

The conference in Oradea was the 2nd of a series of 5 scheduled by the Energynomics communication platform, the Romanian Fund for Energy Efficiency – FREE and the Directorate for Energy Efficiency within the Ministry of Energy. The project is financed by Norway Grants 2014-2021.
