Jaroslava Korpanec coverage in S&P Global: Giant 1-GW Solar Farm Signals Eastern European Renewables Boom

Jaroslava Korpanec, Head of Central and Eastern Europe at Actis, features in an S&P Global article examining how the 1,044MW Dama Solar project in Arad County, Romania, is emblematic of a wider renewables build-out across Central and Eastern Europe.

Backed by Actis through its Rezolv Energy platform, Dama Solar is set to be the largest solar photovoltaic plant in the EU once operational. The article situates the project within a regional shift in which CEE markets, historically dependent on coal and imported gas, are now attracting large-scale private capital into wind, solar and battery storage, supported by improving regulatory frameworks including Romania’s Contracts for Difference regime.

“The intention and the ambition that we have is to continue to grow our investments in Central and Eastern Europe. We’re not opportunistic investors. We’re long-term investors.”
