PPC announces that it has completed, through its subsidiary PPC PPC Renewables, and after fulfilling the usual preconditions for such transactions set out in the previously signed agreement, the acquisition from the European subsidiaries of the Lukoil Group, of a 100% stake in Land Power S.R.L. , which operates a wind farm in Romania with a total installed capacity of 84 MW, according to a company press release. The wind farm is located in the towns of Dorobantu and Topolog, Tulcea, in a region in Romania with the best wind conditions and generates more than 200 GWh of electricity per year.
