“I’m glad that a Romanian company had this visionary idea to create its own energy source. Thus, it can ensure an annual average of 70% of its electricity needs, and in peak hours it can exceed 100%, which means that Balkan Pharmaceuticals can become an electricity supplier in the network of the Republic of Moldova.” said Mr. Cristian Leon Ţurcanu, Romania’s ambassador to the Republic of Moldova.
The photovoltaic park is located on an area of 2.3 Ha, and the investment amounts to approximately 1.5 million Euros. The design, organization and installation of the park took about 12 months, with the first project sketches being executed in October 2021.
