E.ON Energie Romania has successfully installed its 400th turnkey solar power plant, a significant achievement in the nation’s push towards renewable energy. The company’s investment in these completed projects now exceeds 75 million euros, contributing to a substantial and growing portfolio of green energy solutions across Romania.
Expanding E.ON Romania solar Capacity
E.ON Energie Romania has reached a major milestone with the installation of its 400th solar power plant, solidifying its role as a key player in the country’s energy transition. These projects, featuring approximately 187,000 individual solar panels spread over 374,000 square meters, have a combined installed capacity of 84.3 MW. This achievement is a significant part of the broader Romania solar energy growth, which has seen the country rapidly expand its photovoltaic capabilities.
The 400th project, as originally reported, was completed for a major food producer, installing over 5,500 panels with a total capacity of 3 MWp. This single installation is projected to generate around 3.7 GWh of green energy annually, meeting 23% of the facility’s electricity needs and reducing its carbon footprint by approximately 840 tons of CO2 per year.
Further showcasing their diverse client base, recent projects also include:
* A rooftop installation for the Cemacon brick factory in Sฤlaj county, which will produce about 976 MWh annually.
* A new facility for Continental Automotive Romania in Timiศ county, featuring 1,440 panels that will generate 715 MWh per year and cut CO2 emissions by 152 tons.

Investments in E.ON Romania solar and Green Energy
Collectively, E.ON Energie Romania’s 400 solar plants generate around 105 GWh of green energy each year. This output significantly reduces national carbon emissions by about 19,000 tons annuallyโequivalent to taking nearly 10,000 gasoline-powered cars off the road.
Beyond direct installation, E.ON is evolving its business model by expanding into long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). This innovative approach allows commercial clients to access solar energy with no upfront investment. A prime example is the 15-year contract with Webasto’s plant in Arad, where E.ON Energie seals a PPA by financing, building, and operating the solar plant, providing the client with predictable energy costs for over a decade. This model, supported by favorable conditions like Romania solar subsidies, is accelerating corporate adoption of renewable energy.
These efforts are complemented by E.ON’s massive investment of over 1.2 billion euros in modernizing and digitizing its distribution networks. A robust grid is essential for reliably integrating a growing number of renewable energy sources, ensuring stability and efficiency for all consumers.
Expanding the Electric Vehicle Charging Network
In parallel with its solar initiatives, E.ON Energie Romania is actively developing the country’s electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The company has expanded its E.ON Drive network to over 400 charging points across Romania. This network is a critical component of E.ONโs strategy to decarbonize the transportation sector, one of the largest sources of emissions.
By creating a reliable and accessible charging network, E.ON is lowering the barrier to entry for prospective EV owners. This synergy between green energy generation from its solar plants and green energy consumption for mobility creates a powerful cycle of sustainability. The expansion of this infrastructure is a key factor in accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles and achieving national climate goals. For those interested in the latest developments, there is always more to read in the Romania Solar News.
E.ON Energie Romaniaโs multi-faceted commitment to sustainability and innovation has positioned it as a leader in the countryโs energy transition. Its strategic investments in solar generation, modern grid infrastructure, and EV charging networks provide a comprehensive model for a cleaner energy future.
