The €2.6 million investment brings the total value of renewable energy solutions for the milling company to over €2.8 million.
The project operates under a Power Purchase Agreement, allowing Sam Mills to access clean energy without upfront costs while reducing energy expenses. The company expects to reach over 30% energy autonomy across its operations and reduce exposure to market price volatility.
The solution combines 3,660 solar panels with battery storage, enabling surplus energy to be stored during peak periods and used when needed. This improves consumption efficiency for the industrial facility's continuous production cycles.
"The partnership with Sam Mills reflects the rapid pace at which industrial companies in the Northwest region are adopting on-site energy generation solutions," said Filipe Dias, Country Manager of Greenvolt Next Romania. Cristian Babiciu, CEO of Sam Mills, noted that "green energy and cost predictability are essential, particularly in the current geopolitical context and energy market volatility."
This project strengthens Greenvolt Next's presence in Romania's North-West region, where the company operates 22 projects with 7.2MW total capacity. These projects represent an estimated annual carbon emission reduction of 5,800 tons of CO2.
