Türkiye’s largest conglomerate, Koc Holding, has signed an agreement with Romania-based Waldevar Energy for a major solar power plant project, Romanian sources reported.

The project will be built in the town of Niculesti near Bucharest and is expected to add at least 200 megawatts-peak (MWp) of capacity, according to news outlet profit.ro.

Koc steps into Romania’s renewable sector

The planned facility follows Koc Holding’s subsidiary Entek Elektrik’s acquisition of two Romanian companies that hold the required development rights for the project in early 2025, involving Eco Sun Niculesti and Euromec-Ciocanari, both previously owned by U.K.-based Econergy International Limited.

The Commission has launched discussions with the two Cypriot communities in Cyprus about the results of an EU-funded pre-feasibility study concerning the possible establishment of the first-ever bi-communal solar power plant in Cyprus.

Discussions were officially launched with a meeting with the representatives of both Cypriot communities, chaired by Mario Nava, Director-General for Structural Reform Support at the European Commission.

The pre-feasibility study, funded under the EU aid programme for the Turkish Cypriot community and carried out in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme, envisages a solar power plant of 36MW capacity located in the buffer zone, using photovoltaics and batteries with a storage capacity of 3 hours.
