Schoenherr has advised Nofar Energy on its acquisition of a 255-megawatt photovoltaic project under development from Portland Trust.
According to the firm, the project is expected to become operational in 2024 and "is Romania's largest solar PV park. It spans 290 hectares in Corbii Mari, Dambovita county, and is expected to generate 362 gigawatt-hours of renewable energy a year, enough to cover the electricity consumption needs of approximately 160,000 households."
With this transaction, Nofar Energy's renewable energy portfolio in Romania reaches a total capacity of 1 gigawatt, including operational solar PV projects, as well as projects under construction and in the pre-construction phase, Schoenherr reported.
