TMK Hydroenergy Power, part of the Evryo Group under Czech utility CEZ, has launched Romania's first large-scale floating PV system in collaboration with Innovation Norway. The 1 MW system, located in Caras Severin county next to the 22 MW Grebla hydroelectric plant, will power the plant's internal operations.

"This pilot project will demonstrate its effectiveness, and we aim to replicate it," said Liviu Gavrila, General Director of Generation at Evryo.

Romania had 1,414 MW of installed solar capacity by the end of 2023, according to IRENA. The Romanian government aims to generate 36% of its energy from renewables by 2030 and plans its first renewables auction under a contract-for-difference scheme.
