Ilfov County in Romania is planning to build a solar power plant to supply electricity to public buildings managed by the county council, including hospitals. The project, financed from the European Union’s Modernisation Fund, is expected to be completed in the commune of Cernica by the end of 2026.
The project, valued at RON 14.3 million, will be submitted to the Ministry of Energy in December. The solar power plant will cut energy costs of buildings such as the headquarters of the county’s social welfare and child protection services directorate, the Ilfov county hospital, and the obstetrics-gynecology hospital by 90%.
The annual electricity output will be worth about RON 3.7 million (EUR 744,000), while CO2 emissions will be reduced by 33,000 tons a year. Sibiu County in Transylvania also plans to build its own solar power plant with a peak capacity of 2.2 MW. Local authorities across the region are also exploring renewables to cut costs and improve energy security. Serbia’s Autonomous Province of Vojvodina has allocated RSD 105 million (EUR 896,000) for the installation of solar power plants on the roofs of 13 faculties and colleges of the University of Novi Sad.
