Rezolv Energy has energised Phase 1 of the Vifor wind farm in Buzău County, Romania. The project is backed by Actis and Mubadala. Phase 1 has an installed capacity of 192 MW and comprises 30 Vestas V162 EnVentus turbines, each with a capacity of 6.4 MW. The turbines have a tower height of 166 metres and a rotor diameter of 162 metres. Vestas was also the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partner for Phase 1.
Phase 1 was supported by up to €291 million in project financing from a consortium of eight lenders led by Erste Group, UniCredit Group and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), alongside the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Intesa Sanpaolo Group, OTP Bank, Raiffeisen Bank International and Garanti BBVA Romania. Phase 2 is supported by additional financing facilities of up to €331 million, largely provided by lenders involved in the first phase.
The project is also supported by six long-term corporate power purchase agreements with T-Mobile Czech Republic, Slovak Telekom, CE Colo Czech Republic, Bekaert, A2A and Etem Gestamp. Together, the agreements cover more than 350 GWh of electricity per year.
Once Phase 2 is completed in 2027, the Vifor wind farm will have a total capacity of 461 MW.
