Greenvolt Next, a leader in renewable energy and part of the Greenvolt Group, has completed a new integrated photovoltaic power plant with a high-performance energy storage system for Abund Berry, a company in the forest fruit processing industry, located in Buftea, Ilfov County.
The photovoltaic system, with a peak installed capacity of 512 kWp, is equipped with an advanced battery energy storage system, using state-of-the-art lithium technology, with a total capacity of 400 kWh. The solution allows the storage of solar energy produced during the day for use during off-peak periods or when grid electricity prices are higher — thus ensuring flexibility, efficiency and cost optimization.
The 7-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) ensures access to green energy without any initial investment. The system is estimated to generate 611,327 kWh of electricity annually, which translates into estimated savings of over 1.5 million euros over its operational life of 25 years.
“This partnership represents a new important milestone for Greenvolt Next on the Romanian market and reaffirms our role as a provider of top technical and financial solutions for our customers. A photovoltaic system with battery storage is the optimal solution for ensuring flexibility and efficiency, and with the decrease in the costs of these technologies, it now represents a solid and profitable investment. We are pleased that Abund Berry has chosen to consolidate its energy independence through a minimal initial investment, combining environmental benefits and long-term financial gains. It is encouraging to see more and more Romanian companies recognizing these benefits”, said Filipe Dias, Country Manager Greenvolt Next.
“This project reinforces our commitment to environmental responsibility by reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to the decarbonization of our operations. At the same time, achieving these objectives with clear financial benefits – without having to resort to equity and ensuring a lower and more predictable electricity bill – was also a decisive factor in advancing the project,” added Ionel Burtea, Administrator of Abund Berry. In 2025, Greenvolt Next Romania concluded over 100 contracts for decentralized energy and installed a capacity of over 20 MW.
