DTEK aspires to be a pan-European clean energy company, helping to power a more resilient and sustainable energy future for the region. Our EU renewables arm, DTEK Renewables International (DRI), leads this area of work, delivering innovative solar, wind and battery storage projects across four main priority markets: Italy, Croatia, Romania and Poland. In total, DRI now boasts a 1.4GW portfolio of operating projects, construction projects and others in various stages of development.
DRI is developing several significant renewable energy projects in Italy, totaling over 500 MWp in capacity:
- San Martino Solar Park: Located in central-southern Italy, this solar park has a capacity of 35.2 MWp and is expected to power approximately 13,533 homes, avoiding 20,097 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
- Ordona Solar Park: Also situated in central-southern Italy, this solar park has a capacity of 57.3 MWp, aiming to supply energy to about 23,044 homes and reduce carbon emissions by 34,221 tonnes per year.
- Erula Agrivoltaic Solar Park: Located in Northern Sardinia, this agrivoltaic project has an installed capacity of 264.7 MWp, expected to power 101,444 homes and avoid 150,645 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
- Sardinia Solar Projects: DRI is developing four solar projects in Sardinia:
- Macomer 4: 42 MWp capacity
- Macomer 5: 52 MWp capacity
- Sindia 2: 30 MWp capacity
- Sindia 4: 42 MWp capacity
Collectively, these projects have a capacity of 166 MWp, aiming to power 68,444 homes and avoid 101,640 tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
The DRI Croatia team is driving forward three key renewable energy projects in the country:
- Brda Umovi Wind Farm: Located in Croatia’s Dalmatia County, near Split, this wind farm will have a total capacity of 127.5 MW, with an additional 28.9 MW to be added in its second phase. The project is expected to be completed by autumn 2026.
- Vedrine Solar Park: Also situated near Split, this solar park will generate 60 MWp, with completion expected in 2027.
- Ljubovo Wind Farm: Located in Lika-Senj County in central Croatia, the Ljubovo wind farm will have a target capacity of 120 MW, producing an estimated 349 GWh annually.
These projects are just the beginning of DRI’s commitment to advancing Croatia’s renewable energy sector.
DRI has established a strong presence in Romania with three operational projects generating power:
- Glodeni I Solar Park: Located in Mureș County, this solar park has a capacity of 53 MWp and contributes to the region's renewable energy supply.
- Glodeni II Solar Park: Located next to Glodeni I, this newly launched solar park has a capacity of 60 MWp and is expected to generate 86.4 GWh annually, enough to power over 22,400 homes each year.
- Ruginoasa Wind Farm: Located in Iași County, this 60 MWp wind farm began operations in December 2023, marking the first new wind farm in Romania in a decade.
DRI is advancing its renewable energy initiatives in Poland, with one active project so far:
- Trzebinia Battery Storage Project: DRI has secured the rights to develop Poland’s first large-scale battery storage project in Chrzanów. Pending permitting approvals, construction of the 133 MW battery storage facility is set to begin in early 2026, with operations slated to commence in early 2027.
