Rezolv Energy Appoints Seven Partners To Build EU’s Largest 1.36 GWp Solar Project In Romania

Rezolv Energy, backed by Actis and Mubadala, has appointed seven companies to support the construction of its 1.36 GWp Dama Solar project in Arad County, western Romania. Once completed, the project is expected to become the largest onshore renewable energy project in the European Union, marking a significant milestone for the region’s clean energy development.

The seven appointed partners will be responsible for different aspects of project execution, covering engineering, procurement, construction, electrical infrastructure and solar module supply. CHINT Green Energy, CMC Europe and Solarpro will undertake separate engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) packages. EnergoBit and Siemens Energy have been selected to deliver the high-voltage electrical infrastructure, while Tongwei and Astronergy will supply solar modules for the project.

The appointments come as Dama Solar advances towards construction following the completion of a major financing arrangement. In September 2026, Rezolv Energy, through its project subsidiary West Power Investments, signed a financing package of up to €561 million. The funding was secured from a consortium of 14 lenders, with the European Investment Bank (EIB) providing an anchor investment.

Located in Arad County, Dama Solar will cover more than 1,000 hectares and is expected to generate approximately 1,800 GWh of renewable electricity annually. According to the company, this output would be equivalent to around 36% of Romania’s total solar electricity generation in 2025. The project is scheduled to begin commercial operations in the second half of 2028.

Construction is expected to create significant employment opportunities, with the workforce reaching approximately 1,500 people during peak activity. Alongside its renewable energy development, Rezolv Energy has allocated 82 hectares within the project site for a nature reserve. The initiative will support nature restoration and biodiversity conservation on land that could otherwise have been used for solar power generation.

Dama Solar has also secured government support through Romania’s second contracts for difference (CfD) auction, conducted in August 2025. The Romanian Ministry of Energy awarded two CfD contracts covering 520 MW of the project’s capacity.

In October 2026, Rezolv Energy signed a 10-year Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) with Ahold Delhaize. The agreement covers renewable electricity from both Dama Solar and the company’s 300 MW Dunarea East Wind Farm in Romania, marking the first power purchase agreement signed for both projects.

Rezolv Energy stated that coordination among the seven partners will be essential to ensure efficient project delivery. The company expects their combined technical expertise and execution capabilities to support construction.

Dama Solar is part of Rezolv Energy’s 2.8 GW renewable energy portfolio across Romania and Bulgaria. Established in 2022, the company focuses on developing, constructing and operating large-scale renewable energy projects across Central and Southeastern Europe.
