Austrian Verbund Takes Over 272 MW Wind Farm in Romania

Verbund, an Austrian energy company, has acquired a 272 MW wind project in Romania through its subsidiary, Verbund Wind Power Romania. The purchase was made from Monsson, a multinational group focused on renewable energy solutions, including wind, solar, energy storage, and green hydrogen. The announcement came via a press release from Verbund.

The wind project is situated in Caras-Severin County, Romania, and is classified as "ready to build," with all necessary permits and grid connections secured. It is projected to produce about 569 GWh of electricity each year. Construction is slated to begin in 2026, marking a key step in Verbund’s expansion plans.

This acquisition highlights Verbund’s commitment to growing its presence in Romania’s renewable energy sector. The company has been operating in the country since 2012, managing the 226 MW Casimcea wind farm in Tulcea County. The new project strengthens its foothold in a market identified as a priority for its long-term goals.

Verbund, a major player in Austria’s energy industry, is among Europe’s top producers of renewable energy. Approximately 98% of its electricity comes from sustainable sources. Under its 2030 strategy, the company aims to boost its solar and wind power output significantly. By that year, it targets 25% of its total energy production to come from photovoltaic systems and onshore wind farms. Romania plays a central role in achieving this objective, as outlined in the company’s strategic plans.

The transaction reflects Verbund’s focus on expanding its renewable energy portfolio while contributing to sustainable energy development. The project aligns with the company’s broader mission to increase clean energy production across its operational regions. With construction set for 2026, the Caras-Severin wind farm will further diversify Verbund’s assets in Romania, complementing its existing operations.

Monsson, the seller, continues to support renewable energy advancements globally through its expertise in multiple clean energy technologies. For Verbund, this deal reinforces its position as a leader in the shift toward greener energy solutions, both in Romania and beyond.
