The summit took place at a pivotal moment for Ameresco SUNEL’s expanding presence in Romania.
The company recently announced major EPC contracts for three utility-scale solar parks in the country’s southwestern region, totaling 466 MWp – projects expected to significantly support Romania’s transition away from coal and toward climate resilience and energy independence.
From concept to commissioning, Ameresco SUNEL places ESG values, technical integrity, and community well-being at the center of every project.
