Rezolv Energy has appointed seven companies to build its 1.36 GWp Dama Solar project in Arad County, western Romania, which will become the largest onshore renewable energy project in the European Union once operational, according to the company. The partners include three engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors — CHINT Green Energy, CMC Europe and Solarpro — two high-voltage electrical infrastructure providers, EnergoBit and Siemens Energy, and two solar module suppliers, Tongwei and Astronergy.

The appointments mark a major step towards construction following the signing of a financing package of up to €561 million at the end of September 2026. The funding was secured through a consortium of 14 lenders and includes an anchor investment from the European Investment Bank (EIB). The project is expected to generate around 1,800 GWh of renewable electricity annually, equivalent to approximately 36% of Romania's total solar electricity generation in 2025, according to data from Ember cited by Rezolv Energy.

Covering more than 1,000 hectares, Dama Solar is expected to enter commercial operations in the second half of 2028. Construction will create employment opportunities for around 1,500 people at peak workforce. The development also includes an 82-hectare nature reserve set aside within the project site on land that could otherwise have been used for electricity generation.

In August 2025, Dama Solar was awarded two contracts for difference (CfDs) by Romania's Ministry of Energy in the country's second CfD auction, covering 520 MW of the project's capacity. More recently, in October 2026, Rezolv Energy and Ahold Delhaize signed a 10-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) covering renewable electricity from Dama Solar and the company's 300 MW Dunarea East Wind Farm. According to Rezolv Energy, this was the first PPA signed for both projects.

Dama Solar forms part of Rezolv Energy's 2.8 GW portfolio of large-scale renewable energy projects in Romania and Bulgaria. Launched in 2022 and backed by Actis and Mubadala, the independent renewable energy producer focuses on developing, building and operating renewable energy projects across Central and Southeastern Europe.
