One of the largest photovoltaic parks was built in Ocnita district with the support of maib
Photovoltaic panels are becoming increasingly popular in Moldova because they are an efficient way to save money. Alternative energy is an option for those who want clean, economical energy with a sustainable structure, and maib confidently supports such projects.
Recently, in partnership with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, maib participated in the inauguration by Lavender First SRL of one of the largest parks with solar panels. The park is located in the small town Frunze in Ocnita on an area of 2.8 ha and contains 3,000 photovoltaic panels that will generate approximately 2 million kWh annually.
"Initially, Lavender First wanted to grow lavender. We wanted to produce essential oils, after which we understood that the most successful occupation is renewable energy. When we reached out to maib, they were responsive. They came with information regarding the documents, which was easy for us. The money was received very quickly" says Mihaela Vîrlan, Lavender First SRL representative. The photovoltaic park has the status of eligible electricity producer and was built by Alum Sistem SRL.
"During May-September, such a park could produce 8000-10000 kWh per day", specified Vladislav Chirica, technical manager of Alum Sistem SRL.
At the same time, Vladislav Chirica proudly reported on the future plans that will be realized in partnership with maib - 55 large projects with a capacity of 1mWh and 15 projects for net metering of 200 kWh. By 2022, 5 photovoltaic parks will be opened with a production capacity of approx. 1 mWh each.
