The works that are the subject of this contract are: the 35 kV underground power line network necessary to collect the energy from the generators to the SEN (National Energy System) connection station the foundations for the ten wind turbines that will be installed as part of this project the platforms for mounting the high-tonnage cranes that will install the turbines on the site as well as the access and internal roads of the wind farm: both the temporary ones that will allow the component elements of the turbines to be brought in as well as the permanent roads that will be used for the operation and maintenance of the equipment throughout the lifetime of the installation The wind farm from Ruginoasa covers an area of approximately 23 ha The wind power plant will have an installed capacity of 60 MW and once completed will deliver a considerable amount of energy to the National Energy System The Electromontaj works are scheduled to be completed in record time, until September 2023. “We are happy to start the year with a new project in the area of renewable energy It is a partnership that honors us and demonstrates once again Electromontaj’s ability to support the transition to a sustainable future Putting into operation the new wind energy production capacity in the Ruginoasa park brings in a special value against the background of the current energy crisis.”- Ionuț Tănăsoaica  — “We are delighted to be partnering with Electromontaj The Ruginoasa windfarm is an important part of the growth in our renewable generation portfolio in Romania  as one of the

to become an important provider of clean energy to Europe by achieving ‘first power’ at its debut projects outside Ukraine The two Romanian projects – one wind and one solar – are the first in an EU portfolio that will span Italy and Croatia and are being developed by DTEK’s wholly-owned subsidiary DTEK Renewables International (DRI) DTEK Group is already the largest producer of renewable energy in Ukraine it signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Vestas to expand its Tyligulska windfarm near Kherson – a €450 million investment that will create Eastern Europe’s largest windfarm The two projects in Romania are the first in DRI’s plans to reach 5GW of installed capacity within the EU by 2030 Together they involved a total investment of €150 million Together the two will produce approximately 225,000 MWh of electricity annually – enough to supply more than 58,500 homes and reduce carbon emissions by 58,000 tonnes a year “Romania has embarked on building an energy system that is green demonstrating the country’s ambition in this sector honouring our partnership with the European Union’s Green Deal We are delighted to have such important investments and investors in Romania and we underline once more our key message for all companies in the global energy sector: come on over Romania is open for business,” Sebastian Burduja “Ukrainians have made a clear choice that their future lies inside Europe and DTEK’s expansion into the EU is living proof of that ambition I am exceptionally proud of the teams at Glodeni and Ruginoasa in producing green energy for Romanian consumers This moment marks a further step forward in the integration of Europe’s and Ukraine’s energy systems as Ukraine moves towards EU accession,” Maxim Timchenko Glodeni and Ruginoasa are two projects in a broader DTEK commitment to help decarbonize both the Ukrainian and European power systems and to fully integrate Ukraine’s energy system with the EU’s less than a month after Russia’s full-scale invasion Ukrainian engineers connected its grid to the European Union’s The move was an important milestone in Ukraine’s longer-term vision to become a supplier of green power to the Continent given conditions there The country boasts plentiful wind and sunshine Having developed the Tyligulska windfarm in Ukraine during the war and without foreign workers DTEK plans to use the DRI projects as an opportunity to export Ukrainian skills to other European markets and generate employment DRI’s expansion will allow Ukraine to draw on European expertise and potentially to import green
