Simtel Team announced the signing of a partnership with the developer of industrial and logistics spaces CTP Romania regarding the construction and installation of photovoltaic installations on the company’s buildings located in the CTPark Bucharest West industrial park, located on the A1 Motorway, at km 23.
“Energy efficiency is becoming a priority for more and more businesses in Romania and abroad. Recently, amid rising prices for energy from conventional sources, but also from European directives on environmental protection, requests for building renewable energy generation capacity through the installation of photovoltaic power plants is on the rise. At Simtel we advocate for energy independence and environmental protection, and we are delighted to find partners such as CTP, with whom we share the same vision. This project is an ambitious one and sets the trend of streamlining the energy consumption of logistics spaces,” said Iulian Nedea, co-founder and CEO of Simtel Team.
The photovoltaic installations will be designed and built by Simtel Team on 11 buildings within the CTPark Bucharest West industrial park and will have an installed capacity of 11 MWp, using approximately 30,000 photovoltaic panels. In the first year of operation, the energy produced will be of 13,524,000 kWh, practically being able to supply the equivalent of 3,705 households and reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by 17,581 tons per year. Once the works are completed, it will be the largest photovoltaic project built on roof in Romania.
Within this project, Simtel Team will be responsible for engineering, design, procurement of equipment and materials, assembly, testing and commissioning for the turnkey implementation of the photovoltaic installation. Upon completion of the works, the company will ensure the maintenance of the photovoltaic panels, which involves 24/7 monitoring, corrective remedies of any kind performed within 24 hours and annual overhauls to prevent the occurrence of any other potential unpleasant situations in the future.
In the last three years, the Simtel Team has designed and installed over 30 MWp of photovoltaic power plants for the beneficiaries, totaling over 70,000 photovoltaic panels. The projects producemore than 37,000 MWh annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by about 50,000 tons. As a result, beneficiaries save more than seven million euro in energy each year, which they no longer pay to traditional energy suppliers.
In 2021, Simtel Team signed a series of significant partnerships for the construction of photovoltaic installations in Romania. In the first part of the year, the company completed the installation for Kaufland Romania of over 1,300 photovoltaic panels, with a capacity of 490.5 kWp, on the roofs of two stores in Bucharest and Focsani. Simtel Team also signed a partnership with Dedeman for the construction of photovoltaic power plants on the roofs of the 44 stores in Romania.
In addition, at the end of 2021, Simtel Team won a new tender for the construction and installation of photovoltaic power plants with an installed capacity of between 50 and 100 kWp for Penny stores in Romania. At the same time, the company signed a significant contract with Fan Courier for the installation of a photovoltaic power plant with a total installed capacity of 2,199.95 kWp for two warehouses, the roof of the office and the parking of the Fan Courier headquarters in Bucharest.
