Termoline has finalized the installation of a 400 kW photovoltaic park in Ștei, Bihor, Bihor, to supply education, health and sport institutions. The project integrates renewable technologies by connecting the park to a 1 MW thermal power plant using geothermal heat pumps. These pumps extract heat from the ground and geothermal water, providing an efficient and low-carbon heating system.
The solar energy generated is used directly to power the heat pumps and equipment of the thermal power plant, significantly reducing operational costs and reducing dependence on the electricity grid. An innovative aspect of the project is the geothermal waste water energy recovery system, which extracts the remaining heat to pre-heat the water/air in the air conditioning system.
All components are integrated into a centralized energy management system that monitors energy production and optimizes the use of renewable resources. This approach not only supports the community’s energy independence, but also helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a cleaner environment. The project serves as a best practice example for other Romanian cities interested in sustainable energy efficiency solutions.
