Santierul Naval Constanta (Constanta Shipyard) is going GREEN. SNC is implementing a new investment of more than 2 million EUR in a 3.2 MWp Photovoltaic Power Plant. For financing the investment, SNC has accessed the funds allocated by the Ministry of Energy from PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan), whilst the balance of 70% is financed from company’s own funds. The project is implemented at the shipyard’s location and installed on the 45,000 sqm roof of the Hull Workshop. The plant will operate in "self-consumption" mode. The project includes installation of 5,472 photovoltaic panels with a nominal power of 585 Wp each, mounted on a structure made of aluminium profiles, connected to inverters with capacities of 125 kW and 100 kW, hooked up to a newly built transformer station of 2 x 1,600 kVA, 0.4/6kV. The photovoltaic power plant is connected through the newly designed transformer station to the 6 kV bus bars of the existing onshore substation. The plant is scheduled to start operating at the end of October 2024 and is estimated to cover 35% of the shipyard’s annual energy consumption.
