SUNOTEC, one of Europe’s leading providers of large-scale solar PV power plants and BESS solutions, has officially launched SUNOTEC Romania, a new entity established to accelerate the country’s renewable energy transition and strengthen SUNOTEC’s footprint across Southeast Europe (SEE).

The launch marks a strategic milestone for SUNOTEC as the company deepens its commitment to a region that has become one of Europe’s most dynamic renewable energy frontiers. Southeast Europe is entering a decisive decade for solar and energy storage, driven by EU decarbonisation goals, rising electricity demand, and strong investor appetite for clean energy infrastructure. Romania, in particular, stands out with its favourable regulatory environment, grid modernisation efforts, and ambitious renewable targets set under the National Energy and Climate Plan, which envisions over 8 GW of installed solar capacity by 2030.

With this new entity, SUNOTEC brings its full turnkey renewable energy expertise closer to local partners, delivering integrated, bankable, and high-performing renewable assets that combine technical excellence, cost efficiency, and long-term reliability.

A comprehensive local offering

Since entering the Romanian market in early 2024, SUNOTEC has already built 132 MWp of installed capacity and developed a pipeline exceeding 1 GWp of PV projects and 1 GWh of storage capacity planned for the next two years. This strong momentum highlights Romania’s growing role in Europe’s renewable energy landscape, and SUNOTEC’s ability to deliver at scale.

Building on this foundation, SUNOTEC Romania provides turnkey renewable energy solutions spanning the entire lifecycle of utility-scale solar and hybrid projects. From early-stage development and permitting to engineering, construction, and grid integration, SUNOTEC ensures seamless project execution with full accountability and technical excellence. Each plant undergoes rigorous commissioning and quality assurance to guarantee reliable, high-performance operation from day one.

Looking ahead, SUNOTEC Romania’s expertise in long-term operations and maintenance, hybridisation, and battery storage integration will play a key role in shaping a more flexible and resilient energy system. Through this integrated approach, the company is helping to power Romania’s clean energy transition.

Local leadership for long-term growth

The new entity is led by George Drobot, Managing Director of SUNOTEC Romania. Drobot has contributed to the delivery of some of Romania’s largest utility-scale solar projects and now leads SUNOTEC’s mission to build a strong local engineering and project execution team.

“My focus at SUNOTEC is to lead and expand our turnkey activities locally, building on SUNOTEC’s European expertise and resources to deliver full-scope, high-quality solutions for Romania’s rapidly growing solar and energy storage market,” said George Drobot. “By combining local presence with international experience, we can respond faster to project realities, navigate regulatory frameworks effectively, and ensure consistent performance across all phases of a plant’s lifecycle.”

A long-term partner for Romania’s clean energy future

SUNOTEC’s strengthened local presence ensures close collaboration with Romanian suppliers, faster response to permitting and construction challenges, and end-to-end project reliability. The company’s integrated approach enables long-term asset performance, providing investors and developers with bankable solutions that contribute directly to Romania’s clean energy goals.
