R.Power, an independent power producer (IPP) and one of the fastest-growing companies in the European large-scale solar energy market, has announced the signing of contracts for the general execution of a 23 MWp photovoltaic park portfolio.

The projects will be constructed by the Polish company Nomad Electric and the Romanian company Waldervar, both specializing in the design, construction, and operation of renewable energy projects and among the largest general contractors of photovoltaic power plants in Southeast Europe.

Adding 23 MWp to the portfolio marks another step in R.Power's expansion in Europe. By the end of 2025, the company plans to have a portfolio of photovoltaic projects in Romania with a capacity of 100 MWp. This project is bringing R.Power closer to its strategic goal of having 1 GW in operation, which the company aims to achieve next year.

The new projects, located in central and eastern Romania, are in the pre-construction phase. The completion of construction is planned for the second quarter of 2025. The parks will be directly connected to the medium-voltage grid.
