Lukoil Energy&Gas Romania will build a solar park with an installed capacity of 9.0 megawatts (MW) in southern Romania, Bucharest-based media reported on Friday.

The solar park will be built near the Petrotel-Lukoil refinery in Ploiesti, financial daily Ziarul Financiar reported quoting unnamed market sources.

The project is estimated to cost around 13.5 million euro ($18.5 million), the daily added.

The Romanian energy regulator, ANRE, awarded Lukoil Energy&Gas Romania a permit to build a solar park in the country at the end of last year. In October, Lukoil said it planned to build solar parks with a combined installed capacity of up to 12 megawatts (MW) at the Petrotel-Lukoil refinery.

Lukoil Energy&Gas Romania is part of Russian oil group Lukoil.
