The Czech company CEZ will build in Romania's eastern Dobrogea region the largest wind powered plant in Europe, investing 1.1 billion Euro by 2010. CEZ took over the project from Continental Wind Partners, which was developing two wind powered plants north of the Black Sea port of Constanta.
By the end of 2009 the first stage of the investment should be completed, with 139 wind turbines operating to deliver 347.5 MW into the national power grid. The final output would be double that, which is close to the 700 MW electrical power delivered by one of the nuclear power plant generators at Cernavoda.
The national grid operator Transelectrica was notified to plan for receiving a total of some 12,000 MW of electrical power from the wind mills projects under development around the country, but Transelectrica planning manager Dan Preotescu estimated last week that only one quarter of that would be actually delivered into the system.
The most advanced of these projects is the 600 MW wind mills at Tariverde to start producing by 2009 and developed by Tomis Team, and the 600 MW developed by Iberdrola Renovables, which envisages its future development to 1,500 MW output. Since 2005 CEZ owns the Electrica Oltenia electrical power distribution company, and is part of the development of nuclear reactors 3 and 4 at Cernavoda; of a fossil fueled power plant at Galati, along Gaz de France, and at Borzesti, along E.ON. and Electrabel.
