Simtel has announced the completion of the largest photovoltaic power plant installed on the roof of a single building in Romania, namely the Dedeman Turda logistics center. The project is carried out by Simtel for Grunman Energy, a company that is part of Pavăl Holding and which was created to produce energy through photovoltaic power plants installed on the roofs of five Dedeman logistics centers across the country. The photovoltaic power plant is installed on the roof of Dedeman's logistics center in Turda. It has an installed power of approximately 4.1 MWp through about 10,000 photovoltaic panels, which cover an area of 40,000 sqm.
"Together with Grunman Energy, we commissioned the largest photovoltaic power plant installed on a single building in Romania. This project was completed in a record time of just seven months, demonstrating the expertise and efficiency of our team. The projects we carry out together target protecting the environment and promoting a green and sustainable economy by reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere and consolidating Romania's energy independence," stated Ana Nedea, Strategy and Business Development Director at Simtel.
The energy produced annually by the plant will be over 4,500 MWh and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 2,100 tons annually.
"This initiative represents a significant step toward consolidating Romania's energy independence while respecting nature and the resources available to us," stated Cătălin Moisă, Executive Director of Grunman Energy.
The project in Turda is designed to supply power to the national electricity transmission network. Thus, following the commissioning of the photovoltaic power plant, Grunman Energy will officially become an electricity producer. The company plans to install photovoltaic power plants on the roofs of Dedeman's other logistics centers in the country over the next two years.
In addition to installing and commissioning the photovoltaic power plants for Grunman Energy, Simtel will also be responsible for the maintenance of the photovoltaic panels.
