Gura Ialomiţei Solar Park
Encyclopedia
Gura Ialomiţei Solar Park, a large thin-film photovoltaic (PV) power system, will be built on a 5 ha plot of land near the Gura Ialomiţei
commune in Romania
. The power plant will be a 2-megawatt solar power
system using state-of-the-art thin film
technology, and should be implemented in 2012 if financing approved in 2011. The solar park is expected to supply 4 GWh of electricity per year.
The installation will be in the Ialomiţa County
in south-eastern Romania, to be built on a 5 hectares plot of land in the commune of Gura Ialomiţei
. The investment cost for the Gura Ialomiţei solar park amounts to some Euro 10 million.
