Schoenherr Romania advised Nofar Energy on the acquisition of a 255 MW solar photovoltaic (PV) project under development from Portland Trust. Expected to become operational in 2024, this is Romania's largest solar PV park. It spans 290 hectares in Corbii Mari, Dambovita county and is expected to generate 362 GWh of renewable energy a year, enough to cover the electricity consumption needs of approx. 160,000 households.

Congratulations to the parties on achieving this milestone transaction in the local market, which ran very smoothly thanks in part to their previous collaboration."
