The company is among the first European investors to pioneer utility scale PtX projects.
Jens Rasmussen, CEO of Eurowind Energy said:

“We have worked with Solarpro on the construction of two Danish hybrid parks and we have come to appreciate their professionalism and their attitude to our partnership. We believe we found the right partner to help us build the footprint in Bulgaria.”
The first project to be realized by EURA Energy is expected to be the 200+ MWp solar project Tenevo, located in South-eastern Bulgaria. Tenevo Solar Park is planned for construction in Q1 of 2023.
