The largest photovoltaic solar park in Moldova, Fly Ren, was opened in Bacioi commune. This consists of about 4,000 photovoltaic batteries with the capacity of 1 MW and is 2.5 ha in area. The investments in the park came to about €1 million and were made by two Italian companies, IPN has learned from the Ministry of Economy and Road Infrastructure.
“It is an important project that contributes to increasing the energy security of the Republic of Moldova. Such projects are designed to reduce our country’s dependence on imported resources. Moreover, the energy is produced without emitting CO2,” said Minister of Economy Kiril Gaburici.
Besides generation of electric power, the project also envisions the conducting of research for developing alternative sources of energy, in accordance with an agreement signed with the Academy of Sciences of Moldova.
During a calendar year, the electricity generated by an installation of 1 MW can satisfy the annual consumption needs of about 350 families. According to the Ministry of Economy and Road Infrastructure, there are now 52 photovoltaic generation units of different sizes in Moldova. Cumulatively, they produce 3.92 MW of power.
