Lukoil Energy&Gas Romania will build a solar park with an installed capacity
of 9.0 megawatts (MW) in southern Romania, Bucharest-based media reported on
Friday.
The solar park will be built near the Petrotel-Lukoil refinery in
Ploiesti, financial daily Ziarul Financiar reported quoting unnamed market
sources.
The project is estimated to cost around 13.5 million euro ($18.5
million), the daily added.
The Romanian energy regulator, ANRE, awarded
Lukoil Energy&Gas Romania a permit to build a solar park in the country at
the end of last year. In October, Lukoil said it planned to build solar parks
with a combined installed capacity of up to 12 megawatts (MW) at the
Petrotel-Lukoil refinery.
Lukoil Energy&Gas Romania is part of
Russian oil group Lukoil.
