China-based industrial conglomerate SANY Group reportedly intends, through its Singaporean subsidiary, to join forces with its Romanian partner for the largest hybrid energy project in Europe. It values the investment at just over EUR 1 billion.
Located in Timiș County, the massive development includes:
Two 800 MW solar parks (each among the largest in the EU).
A 2.34 GWh battery energy storage system (BESS).
A 70 MW data center near Timișoara, positioned on a major European data highway.
SANY will finance the venture and supply core equipment, including solar panels from its fully robotic factory in China. The project is managed by former Romanian MP Mugurel Surupăceanu until it reaches commercial operation. This move significantly expands SANY’s renewable footprint in the region, following its recent wind energy investments in Serbia.
The ORLEN Group has officially commissioned a 42.2 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) farm at its Mažeikiai refinery in Lithuania. Expected to generate approximately 45 GWh of clean electricity annually for ORLEN Lietuva, the project marks the Group’s largest on-site renewable energy installation to date and serves to cut operational overhead while accelerating decarbonization across its industrial asset portfolio.
Delivered by Białystok-based contractor Electrum, the €35 million investment—which secured €2.5 million from the European Union’s Modernisation Fund—highlights the export of Polish engineering expertise into major CEE energy infrastructure projects.
Kořensko hydroelectric power plant is currently undergoing the largest modernization in its 34-year history. Operated by ČEZ as part of the Vltava cascade, the multi-million-crown overhaul will replace core machinery across both of its turbine units, resulting in safer, greener, and significantly more efficient operations by next spring.
Enefit, the electricity subsidiary of Estonia's Eesti Energia, has officially opened the Strzałkowo solar park in central Poland. The newly launched facility marks a major milestone for the company, standing as its largest single renewable energy project in the Polish market to date.
The Strzałkowo facility boasts an impressive installed capacity of 45 megawatts (MW). Operational estimates suggest the site will generate approximately 45 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually.
